Go is a systems programming language. It's not appropriate to expect Go to be able to send an email or create a web server in one line. Go is supposed to be a better systems programming language than C. It's not supposed to be a high level language with all of the things that he wants.

Also, language designers have to maintain a balance between improving the language and maintaining stability so that programmers can actually get work done. I think Guido is doing a good job of this (even though I might disagree with some of his design decisions).
