Two false statements.
Perhaps your seed is such that Start Temple lies very close to Black Forest or worse. But if you didn't rush the game, this shouldn't be news, and you should have a fair number of already made shelters around this starting location.
The game doesn't starts from scratch; only your character was transported to the starting place. Your goal is just now, to equip yourself and return near where you died first time (mountains in your case). This can takes minutes or days, depending on whether you have materials available in chests and stacks around the starting location, portals, etc. This could even take weeks, what's the problem when tombstones are persistent? You keep playing the game and progressing in the meantime.

At worst, take the long path and your time, and in the end, you'll get a whole set of spare equipment, one boat more, etc.
