I would not expect much exchange between red blood cells and body cells in arteries because arteries primarily carry oxygenated blood away from the heart at high pressure, facilitating rapid transport rather than exchange. In contrast, exchange occurs mainly in capillaries where blood slows down, allowing red blood cells to release oxygen and pick up carbon dioxide and other waste products from body cells. Veins mainly return deoxygenated blood to the heart, so their function is also not focused on exchange.

Why would you die if you do not breathe?

If you do not breathe the blood in your veins and arteries can not flow. The exchange of CO2 and oxygenated blood can not mix and exchange in the heart. The gas from CO2 will suffocate you and you will die.

Why large veins and arteries located next to each other?

Veins and arteries are located next to each other due to an evolutionary phenomena known as counter-current heat exchange. Your body tries to maintain an optimum temperature of 37oC, and since the body's core (chest area) delivers the blood to the extremeties, that blood may risk coming back cold. And if the blood happens to come back to the heart colder, that would not be achieving homeostasis. Your body is made to fight entropy. So what evolution decided is to put veins and arteries together so that heat exchange can happen through arteries and veins going to opposite directions. Arteries pump blood away from the heart and veins bring blood back to the heart, since they are going in opposite directions, they can exchange heat making the veins carry back some heat back to the heart, thus the naming "counter current heat exchange".
