Hi
Cooling hot food in the fridge before putting it in the freezer is to protect the other food in the freezer from a rise in temperature caused by putting hot food directly into the freezer.  I can see no problem with putting EBM directly into the freezer.  It will simply cool faster.  The injunction to cool EBM before freezing applies when adding fresh EBM to a container of frozen EBM.  Best to cool the fresh EBM first so it doesn't partially defrost the already frozen milk.
I hope that's clearer
