This is a topic where people fall on both sides. The designers of Pathfinder wanted to not have to track when stats got changed so they made stat changes retroactive, so extra skill points when int or con goes up.
The wording of the free spells:
A wizard begins play with a spellbook containing all
0-level wizard spells plus three 1st-level
spells of his choice. The wizard also selects a number
of additional 1st-level spells equal to his Intelligence
modifier to add to the spellbook
This does not indicate that the free spells are received at first level only. And honestly if your DM is quibbling about 2 free first level spells, it probably not worth the fight, it's 20-30gp worth of free stuff when your equipping a 16000gp item, should be chump change for your character.
