Actually, a *lot* of physiology is based on 'physics' principles. In fact, I always advise serious physiology majors to take a good physics course as early in their career as possible, because a lot of what I and my colleagues cover requires an understanding from that other science.

But moving on, about your evaporative effects, while your points are valid in general, they're less of a concern in situations of extreme low temperatures. In such conditions, not only is blood flow to surface areas of the body curtailed, but the glands that produce water-type perspiration, as well as oils, virtually stop functioning -- skin becomes quite dry.

The original team developing the wind chill effect found that using models (containers of water with dry surfaces) were a good replica of what they observed in their volunteer test subjects.
