wait what?
We do, but they can't teleport.
Goku combines the knowledge of how to reach New Namek with the physical ability to get there reliably and immediately. He couldn't point it out on a starchart, but he can be there and back in an afternoon.
It's doable without him, but much harder and requires collaboration between multiple characters. As is true with many things, having Goku around makes the rest of the cast unnecessary.

That, pretty much.
It's never directly stated what would prohibit Goku from just teleporting to Earth with his shnazzy halo whenever he feels like it - and made murkier by the fact that he CAN teleport to and from Afterlife with no ill consequences if he's alive - but it is consistently portrayed that if he's dead, he can't leave without Fortuneteller Baba's spooky temp-necromancy thing she did for him and Grandpa Gohan.

Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!I don't think that would stop him.

- KAIO-SAMA: NEVER push the Kaioken above x3! It will annihilate your body!
- GOKU: KAIOKEN x20!!!
- KAIO-SAMA: Not sure if I overestimated the harm or underestimated reality's willingness to suit your whims.
- Years later
- GOKU: Hey, Kaio-sama! I got really upset over the fact that I had to rely on others to achieve Super Saiyan God so then I just kept the power without the transformation!
- KAIO-SAMA: Well, that answers that.
I prefer the translation that suggests that the whole Goku Retaining Some God Power thing was almost like a muscle memory thing, that his body became stronger due to fighting at a level it normally wouldn't be operating at.
Which, to me, sounds a bit like a souped-up version of training under extra gravity, putting his body under unusual strain.

I have a message from another time...- VEGETA: I punched a hole in the moon for you. TOP THAT!
- BULMA: I built a functioning Time Machine from scratch, out of spare parts utilizing theoretical physics I had to develop myself.
- VEGETA: Not in this timeline!
- BULMA: No, not in this timeline, because my invention unmade the entire need for its existence in the first place, thus allowing you to live long enough to punch a hole in the moon for me.
- VEGETA: ...I'm confused. Does that mean I win?
- BULMA: *smirking* Sure.
- VEGETA: HAH! PRINCE OF ALL SAIYANS STRIKES AGAIN!!!
