The golden rule is based on the logic of human behavior. Logic is an abstract absolute which could be considered a form of objectivity.
Don't do to others what you don't want done to you.
If you break this rule you are a hypocrite and therefore illogical.
Simplified the golden rule just means don't do tings to people against their will.

Benevolence is another absolute ideal.
Have good will towards all universally.

ethical systems produce objective morality by pointing to the logical conclusions of presuppositions- much like math.

What do you mean by "morality"? Do you mean "values"? Or do you mean the means of achieving those values?
If morality is a set of "values", then it is not objective, since value by its nature springs from a "valuer". A thing that values.
However, if morality is a set of rules/guidelines meant to achieve values, than it IS objective. There are certain ways to achieve things, and that's set up by the nature of reality and existence. More or less.

It is always wrong to kill innocent human beings. If you can't that statement wrong you must admit that moral truths exist.

I would posit the trolley problem in response to your statement.

It doesn't matter. You could say it's god or you could say it's just how we are. The point is that moral truths exist.
