You don’t have to physically produce the warrant as long as it’s been issued.

Correct, the law requires you to trust law enforcement.
It takes a simple google to figure out that you are incorrect. If an arrest warrant exists, police need to produce an arrest warrant as soon as possible but not at time of arrest.
How does the police _justify_ the arrest then, to the ones being arrested, their family, and to their counsel?
How do those know what happens next, and where?
You know, basic questions, even more critical in a democracy.
You cannot force a citizen without a legal reason to do so. If you don't have a warrant (or a legitimate reason at the time of arrest), you're legally naked.
Nothing about what you said matters. The police are legally allowed to arrest a person without presenting an arrest warrant, if the arrest warrant exists. Then after they are brought to jail, they will present to warrant to the person arrested or their counsel. The family is owed no information from the police. That's not how it works.
There’s a lot in the law that won’t be necessarily obvious or intuitive to you, that doesn’t mean you should assume you know what you’re talking about. Go ahead and look it up rather than commenting about something you don’t understand.
But there's no way for the one affected to know one was issued unless it's produced.
