Two important things to note:

1. The idea of Alicorns possessing an Earth pony component comes from the trading card game, which contradicts itself. Earlier cards left out the Earth pony component too.

2. Never was it said that Celestia and Luna are not Alicorns by birth. They only said they don't know anything about the topic, which is very reasonable considering that the only other Alicorns in the series are those who are shown to have been given the status at a later time.
