While I sympathise with this sentiment, it isn't really feasible, since there are too many useful programs written in Go. Since Go is Free Software, both users and distros like Debian can take advantage of that and just patch out the telemetry or disable it by default. Same goes for any new telemetry that is discovered. That is a better way forward here, since we get the programs implemented in Go but none of the telemetry.
