No, I see your point because some people say the Shakespearean language can be difficult, and if it is distracting, then I guess the best thing to do is find a bible that is very close to its translation. However, for me, the language does not cause a problem, and because there have been changes in words and even omissions in some of the newer versions, I stay away from them.
The changes in words and even omissions in some of the newer versions that you mention are a result of better scholarship, both in translating the early texts and rendering them into English accurately. Staying away from newer, better translations means that you are closing your mind to translation scholarship.
