Elisp is not Scheme (sadly).  Function bindings are separate from
variable bindings.  To use the function binding you need funcall (which
see in the docs).

(defun doer (fn)
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
  (goto-char (point-min))
  (funcall fn)))

Btw, please don't use that "pretty" quoting, it just gets in the way.
