I'm not sure how any of that makes The Doctor any more special than created the universe.

You could sneeze at the beginning of time and accidentally start life way earlier than it should and that would make you very special. It also wouldn't mean you were born special and destined for it. You just really had to sneeze.

Doing something incredible because of chance and effort is far more interesting than because they were born to do it.

Being tasked by the White Guardian of Time to collect and assemble the Key to Time (essentially the most powerful object in all of existence) sure sounds pretty special to me.

Generally, being sent on a special mission by a god makes you pretty damn special.
