Why not just:
mkdir(){ command mkdir "$1" && cd "$1"; }
or even better:
mkdir()
{
    if [ -n "$2" -o -z "$1" ]; then
        echo -e Usage: mkdir DIR"\n$USER"\'s personal mkdir program.;
        return 1;
    fi;
    
    command mkdir "$1" && cd "$1";
}

After all, you can only cd to one dir even though you can mkdir
multiple dirs at a time.
