An "alicorn" being both a Pegasus and a unicorn is a misconception. Correction, the alicorn is actually the formal name of ANY unicorn's horn. In other words, the unicorn's horn is called an alicorn, and it does not refer to any winged unicorns as a species. Not even the Ancient Greeks mixed between winged horses and unicorns. Therefore, Celestia (and Luna) are winged-unicorns, not "alicorns!" I guess if you give unicorns a pair of wings, then they become more "godly" than other unicorns. Additionally, Celestia (and Luna) had also been referred to as being "regal."
