If there is one thing I discovered about Trinitarians, in all my dealings with them, is that they hate being questioned. They HATE it!
And if there is one thing I discovered about intelligent people it's that they have the ability to ask questions.
They say "the Word was God" and "the Word became flesh" and that's it. There you have it, Jesus is God. He was with God in the beginning and therefore he existed before he was born.
Let's suppose John was not a trinitarian. The God that the word was with would be the one and only true God. He would even be the God of Jesus.
What we know of the word of God is that it is powerful. When God speaks by the very breath(spirit) of His mouth things get made. Now, lets suppose that John wants to manifest that word or breath of the spirit power of God through God's son Jesus who was born of a woman and made flesh.
One way would be to take that word and apply it to the son of man and call the son "the Word of God" . Give the son the name "the Word of God".
It doesn't stop there. If God's spirit is the way in which God creates. And the son is to be recognized as God's Word, then that Spirit by which God creates is given to the son without measure(timeless). Meaning that the Spirit which is given to the son is the very same timeless Spirit of the Father by which the Father created all things, and to have a measureless amount of that Spirit would mean that he who possesses it is to be viewed as He who created all things even though he wasn't born until after.
God wants us to recognize Jesus as Himself by giving all things God Himself has to His son.

The problem I have with Trinitarians is they are very superficial readers when it comes to the Scripture. John 1 is a classic example.Why did you just relegate the answer to just Philippians? Is it because if you take the whole of the bible it would say he did pre-exist like in the book of John and others?
Your interpretation doesn't say what you are saying.
