Why am I the only one who gets why they don't realize their "obvious" talents? I mean think about it, don't the talents of the main six seem blatently obvious? Is it not possible that for the majority of them, everypony around them could see what their talents were, but them? And if Friendship is Magic had started when they were all fillies don't you think we'd be reacting to them the same way we react to the CMC not knowing what their cutie marks are? Pinkie and Fluttershy seem to be the only ponies that if we had started watching the show before they got their cutie marks who's talents wouldn't be instantly obvious - and even then Fluttershy's could have easily had an episode hinting to it, like say she looked after a bird at some point while she was in the sky? I don't know, we didn't see it, so maybe all six of them had moments that foreshadowed what their talents would be?

The CMC aren't suposed to be stupid, they're just young, and the whole point is that sometimes what you search for is closer than you think it is, hence the message "don't ever give up" a great one for kids. The CMC are basically younger versions of some of the main six with their own personalities thrown in, and The Cutie Mark Chonicles is meant to reflect that.
