I have a 'more elegant' solution!

I did remember that I faced that situation and I wrote a little text
(never published) about.

First, you create a '.screenrc' file in your home directory.

Second, you put the following inside that file:
defshell -"${SHELL}"

Explanations:

The environment variable 'SHELL' will be expanded by GNU Screen. The
value of that environment variable should be '/usr/bin/bash'.

Note the minus sign '-' ahead of the environment variable: it tells
the GNU Screen to initiate a 'login shell', as if 'bash --login' had
been invoked. The result is '-/usr/bin/bash', a 'login shell' that
reads the '/etc/profile' file and, by consequence, all the scripts in
the '/etc/profile.d/' directory!
