Is it necessary to get a telephoto zoom lens for my DSLR?


I have the Nikon D5200 with the 18-55mm kit lens and the Nikkor 50mm 1.4g lens. The latter works great for portraits, street and low light photography while the former, which is a general purpose lens, helps me out in shooting wide shots. I do not have a zoom lens. More often than not, I find myself in situations where I cannot get closer to my subjects especially when I do wildlife or macro photography. Is a telephoto zoom lens (till 200-300mm) helpful or is there another way around to this? I do not wanna spend a fortune on this and my budget is less than $300.
