If we limit ourselves to just the cartoon, we can say that the ponies got blindsided the first time and failed to come up with an effective counter later because 1) not much time had past, 2) Celestia was mentally checked out due to her upcoming retirement and 3) Thorax had taken over the hive and was friendly. Not good reasons, but not an indication that anyone involved was a moron.

If we include things like the Changeling Amulet and previous large scale changeling attacks, that is no longer true. Celestia, Equestria's officer corps and whatever other political leadership Equestria has are all pants-on-head retarded, because they had plenty of notice and plenty of examples but still took no action. Nothing there contradicts cartoon canon exactly, but that Equestria is a very different place to live.

Celestia always struck me as incredibly overconfident to a hubristic degree, so her foolishly dismissing the Changelings as a threat because they've been defeated before seems pretty in character to me.

Though to be fair she is a magical powerhouse who can just body slam her way through 90% of problems, so her arrogance is not entirely misplaced.
