Okay. You're wrong.

Saying that they aren't kind of goes directly against the whole idea of the show. They're not trying to teach that you need friends up until you become royalty, then you can ditch them. Honestly, the one profession among them that doesn't matter is probably a princess. She's like the fourth one, why would they need any more? The whole point of the whole friendship lessons thing was apparently to prepare her to be a princess, so one can only assume it's somehow integral to geing a princess or else she wouldn't have had to learn about it. Maybe relative to the governing of Equestria they're kind of unimportant, but then with the elements of harmony and them saving it like three times, they still sort of are.

I think you're thinking of the princess thing as something more important than it is. What about Blueblood? How important is he to anything? He's still a prince, that's the same rank. They might not be too important relative to the whole of Equestria, but Twilight may or may not be and the show hasn't focused on much that actually deals with anything beyond Ponyville. And those few occasions when it does is exactly when they actually are really important to it.

So yeah, if the show takes a sudden and probably ill advised shift to matters of national Equestrian importance, then they won't matter too much. But otherwise, that probably won't be the case, especially because that would be an entirely different show that I don't think many people would want to watch.

Anyways, forgive the sappy conclusion, but regardless of how important they are to Equestria, they'd still be important to Twilight.
