Although they have conflicting meanings, they are not antonyms, as doomsday is the end of the world and is a single event that will pass in a complete and finite time period, whereas a heyday is a long and drawn out era during someones life when they are in their prime and at their most popular. For example, when referring to a particular celebrity, you may say: "she was in her heyday in the 1940's", as that was when she was at the height of her fame.
