"but we know empirically that people who come in dressed in suits rarely work out well for our team." Really? You keep metrics with clothing formality on the x-axis and success on the y? Otherwise all you are doing is shoving the word 'empirically' into a sentence to try to disguise your confirmation bias.
I think pre-judging someone, based on them walking in with a suit to your chilled out startup environment, is just as bad as the big corporate companies judging someone for not wearing one.
I mean in the end you're looking for the right person for the job, not their expertise on what to wear, right?
