Is it because the velocity of one water molecule relative to the other water molecules is low? When I stick my hand into a cold stream, why do I feel that it’s cold even though the water is moving fast into my hand? Shouldn’t the water flowing fast mean more collisions with my hand (which I thought is how we sensed temperature)?

Get that water speed near the speed of light then tell me what temperature it is. Comparatively speaking, your hand and the water are moving at the same speed.
