The engines are already 'spooled' in final approach so there is no delay in adding power. Also, modern engines don't have the extreme lag from flight-idle to full power that the older designs had.
From the description, sounds like the reason for the go-around was the bounced landing. The reason from the bounced landing may have been the winds. A bounced landing can result in tail strikes or hitting the nose wheel first on subsequent touchdowns. Better to go-around than try to salvage the landing.
