You mean the real reason for this war? You can only try to intercept them when they reach their temporary satelite state before they reenter. For this, your intercepter rocket has to be exactly somewhere inbetween the launch and the target. This is why NATO is encroaching Russia and Russia doesn't like it. NATO gets more time to intercept and Russia less time to react.

I actually meant THAAD, but your way of thinking is right also

Intercepting on reentry is too dangerous. You saw what Oreshnik did with its 30+ heads. THAAD can't intercept them all. These rockets are most vulnerable midflight.
