Oh easily.
Your time Lord is actually not a time lord but a space baby that was so even more super special that they are so super scared of what they are but are controlled by others into not being able to live their special life.
This companion is actually the heart of all time and is super duper special.
That companion is also the heart of all time and is super special.
This new companion is a super important and super specially clumsy but that's cause they have the super special melody in their heart.
Nobody is just a character to be built over time especially the companions since Rose, they are all super duper important from birth and takes away from them being the human to help humanize the alien. They can do something amazing, can it not be that the only way they get to do something special is being born for it?
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.
