Did you see it?
True, peaches character was not the damsel in distress. But, when playing the video games you can play as peach in the last several mario games and she can do the same as mario. So can toad and luigi. She does also have the kingdom, the main difference is she is kidnapped by bowser in the games. But, mario was still the hero that beat bowser, not peach, so I don't think it was too far off base.
Damsel in distress would have been pretty boring to be honest. Not to mention for the little girls watching who are used to playing peach in games like mario party or odyssey. The way it was executed was perfect.
