You seem to forget that FIM is an episodic series, and that it is not meant to have an overarching narrative. You also seem to forget that even when the show does have story arcs, they're always somewhat weak and only have a few episodes to them while being completely absent in most other episodes. If this were something like avatar the last airbender, your criticisms might be fair, but for an episodic comedy series, they basically amount to wanting the show to be something it's not. As for the 2-parters, those episodes are outliers and are not meant to really set up/conclude much other than their own stories.
