I think some people take the epilogue way too seriously and blow it out of proportion. :)

It's a positive cartoon show. So you should have fun and take it easy. That's what cartoon shows are about.

That time skip is just a glimpse into the future. You technically can assume that we won't reach that future until year 2040, so you can just focus in the fandom on the events right after season 9 two-parter finale, and be creative about their further adventures that will happen before the epilogue timeline kicks in.

If some things bother you too much in the epilogue, you may even choose to ignore that timeline. If you wish you can treat it as the show's staff vision of ponies future, which doesn't necessarily mean it will turn out exactly like that. So you don't need to consider some things or all things in it to be canon. Just see it as the staff's fanfiction made for fun. It doesn't deserve harsh judgement.

You don't need to make yourself feel bad by getting disappointed or frustrated or even hateful towards the epilogue. It's not something you should get so serious about. :)
