For golden armor, you enchant the actual golden armor. For golden arrows, you would enchant the bow, not the arrows, unless you're suggesting that Mojang move bow enchantments to arrows.
Oh, haha, you're right. Didn't think about that. Sorry.
Though that's not a bad idea, actually.
Boooorrrrrinnngg!! This is your typical "Less X, More Y" arrow post involving ore materials. Check out BookWyrm's suggestion on this. (Granted, he does use the ore materials for arrows as well, but he also uses unique materials, like Obsidian and Glass.) Sorry, but I'll never support new arrows made of materials like Gold, Iron, and Diamond.
The idea is nice, but may I just point out that this makes "better" arrows actually worse?
Wooden arrows shoot much more rapidly than diamond arrows and receive the full effects of Power and Infinity.
When you say "very close to instantly", I will assume you mean about a quarter of a second. This means that you can shoot 4 arrows per second, or 10 damage per second, 25 damage per second with Power V.
Now compare this to Diamond arrows: I found that a bow takes around 2 seconds to fully charge, which means that it takes around 4 seconds for a Diamond arrow-firing bow to deal maximum damage of 6.5 seconds, or 1.625 damage per second. At maximum, as Power does nothing for Diamond arrows. Also, a single Wooden arrow with Power V does far more damage than a Diamond arrow (and if you have diamonds, you have enchantments.)
Does Minecraft need more arrows? I'd say so, but not like this. Different arrow types should have cool effects rather than simple changes in damage or drawback. How about low damage arrows that go in a straight line? How about arrows the pierce enemies? What about exploding arrows? Even multi-shot arrows are cooler than this. It's these kinds of arrows that would be cool, not the generic upgrades you came up with.

So you'd rather enchant arrows one by one for a single hit?
No, but I don't think enchanting arrows is a bad idea in general.
But this is off topic.

Added some suggestions and a brand new idea I thought up. (No worries, it's not enchanted arrows, that I admit is dumb.)

Say hello to my latest obsession I will spend hours talking to myself about, AKA Yo-Kai Watch.
Thumbs up, perhaps enchants can be toned down a bit. 7/8 Support! (Sorry if I necroed)

So the details need a major rethink.
System.out.err("Nope");
