If it were me, I'd write (untested)

(require 'gnus-sum)
(defun dzm-copy-article-to-inbox ()
  (gnus-summary-copy-article "INBOX.copy"))
(define-key gnus-summary-mode-map "i" 'dzm-copy-article-to-inbox)

...that is, write a function that takes no parameters that does what
you want, then set up the keybinding to call that function.  Your form
successfully binds "i" to gnus-summary-copy-article, which prompts
you, which isn't what you want.  If you wanted to bind this all
together and not have a named function, you could probably write (even
more untested)

(require 'gnus-sum)
(define-key gnus-summary-mode-map "i"
  (lambda () (gnus-summary-copy-article "INBOX.copy")))
