I understand that, but listen to the first song about how the ponies are reacting to their new jobs because their destinies changed. They all use the line (or some variation of)"It's got to be my destiny, and it's what my cutie mark is telling me." So in a way their destinies are linked to their cutie marks. Rarity's destiny in a way is being able to find beautiful gems, but she uses her talent to make dresses. When we see Applejack, she says that "[her] destiny is not pretty, but it's what my cutie mark is tellin' me," which doesn't really match what the mark is saying at all. If I woke up and saw that mark, I would think I was a diamond miner or a jewelry store owner.
