If you're running a Magit version newer than 2.8 (the relevant commit was on 2016-10-10), you can customize the user option magit-no-confirm-default.
If you add magit-branch-and-checkout to that list, then when you use bc you will only need to enter the new branch name, and Magit will use the default start point without prompting you.
n.b. That default start point is contextual! The prompt for the new branch will indicate what the start point will be.
e.g. If you are viewing a Magit Log or Magit Refs buffer, the start point would reflect the ref at point, rather than the branch you currently have checked out.
