IssueTracker:

There is currently no method in apps script to insert a image in cell. There is a open feature request here. Consider adding a star(on top left) to it for Google to prioritize the issue.

Workaround:

Here we use =IMAGE() formula to insert a image and copy paste values only to get the raw image. This is mentioned by me here and in comment#65 of the issuetracker.

Sample script:

const insertInCellImage_ = (url, rg) => {
  rg.setValue(`=IMAGE("${url}")`);
  SpreadsheetApp.flush();
  rg.copyTo(rg, { contentsOnly: true });
};

/*Inserts Google logo in Sheet1!A1*/
const test1 = () =>
  insertInCellImage_(
    'https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo3w.png',
    SpreadsheetApp.getActive()
      .getSheetByName('Sheet1')
      .getRange(1, 1)
  );
