I think Google wants to emphasize the idea that you don't need to delete anything and are thus offering Archive as a swipe action instead. Placing the delete option in a toolbar that appears at the bottom of the screen when checking off the boxes next to the messages doesn't seem like much of a hassle to me anyway.

It is a hidden option, and one that took me a LONG time to figure (but i'm slow like that). Go to Setting > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Gmail > then toggle Archive Messages to off. That replaces the Archive button with the trash can that used to be there and allows you to swipe to delete. HTH.

edit: nevermind. i skipped over the whole "new gmail app" part...that was in the title. all this is for the native mail app. my bad.
