What I am struggling with is where you draw the line between guarding and screening on defense. Why is this a failed attempt to screen rather than a failed attempt to guard?

The only difference if if you are guarding you are trying to prevent a player from going where they want to go. A screen is trying to re-direct that player.
Chucking a cutter fails at both, and the call is the same, so it is pretty nit-picking.

You are not entirely correct about screening:
Read R4-S39-A1: A screen is a legal action by a player who, without causing contact, delays or prevents an oponent from reaching a desired position.
