We both agree that the waters existed before the heavens and the earth

No, we don't! :-)

OK then, we don't agree... but I'm not sure where we disagree. The waters came before the heavens. Heaven is made (partly) from water, as you will see if you learn the Hebrew root words -- heaven is a compound word made of the words "fire" and "water" -- He used water to make the heavens, so water had to exist before the heavens.
