Maybe 'cp -a --relink' into a new subvolume on the source. It won't
complete immediately like a snapshot. But it'll complete way faster
than a normal data copy. From that point, this new subvolume becomes
"master" where all changes occur, and all the other snapshots are made
from it.

Also, you should do incrementals between the most recent two
snapshots. i.e. the snapshot that follows -p should be the snapshot
most recently successfully received on the destination. That
represents the least amount of increment needed to update the
destination. It will work the way you're doing it now, with -p being
an older snapshot, but you're unnecessarily sending a lot more data
every time.
