Transmutation of lead into gold was never accomplished. Cold fusion just was. There's a big difference. Although it's pretty useless now, I'm sure things can be improved. Take my TI-83+ calculator: I'm sure that it has more computing power than UNIVAC.
side note: Not all alchemy was about transmutation into gold or creating the Elixir of Life. A lot of it was simple purification and chemical reactions. Alchemy was primitive chemistry, given a bad name by the goal of lead into gold.
