Alicorns aren't just a combination of all three races, or just one of pegasi and unicorns. Remember "Princess Twilight Sparkle", the Season 4 premiere? Alicorns have magic of their own that unicorns do not. Also, the only alicorns we know of are royalty, or in the Royal Family (Flurry Heart's mother, Cadance, is an alicorn). In fact, the spruces of magic from Flurry Heart just shows how great their magic really is. She was also born with the knowledge and ability to fly. As a result, they are not comparable to the three races, and we probably shouldn't even consider them a race, but something else entirely.
