I agree with the proposition that Subaru was meant to have met Emilia. You don't need proof in the sense of literal communications of the author or literal facts of the world fabricated by the author. Neither does there have to be absolute proof to render a theory to be likely or plausible. Its about estimating likelihoods and it's much more likely than not that the author intended the witch of envy to have summoned Subaru at the opportune time to encounter Emilia. It is not a coincidence that Subaru was intended to meet Emilia when he was summoned to this world. The author has written this story so far intending Subaru and Emilia to play significant roles in it's development. The witch of envy as been connected to Emilia several times independent of Subaru's connection to the witch, IE Echidna's demeanor towards Emilia, etc. There is likely some link relating the witch of envy, Subaru and Emilia that the author hasn't disclosed as of yet. Intention wise, it makes sense that Subaru was brought into this parallel world for the purposes of meeting Emilia. Especially since, Emillia would have likely died that day due to Elsa (who has connections with Roswaal). Assuming Elsa was hired by Roswaal, there seems to be some link between the timing of Subaru's summons, Roswaals instructions to Elsa for doing what she did, and Emilias presence at the same time. When several threads and plotpoints all align, it's more likely to be not coincidence. Of course I'm speaking in hypotheticals, as you generally do in theory-crafting, I do not believe the assumptions I made are invalid or preposterous. The author hasn't said word for word that Roswaal did hire Elsa, etc. But there is good intention to believe so. if the facts existed it wouldn't be a theory.
