actually you are wrong in your understanding .. mother lakshmi (first the image you created dosent look like an image of a mother) is the goddess of happiness & good fortune and .. in hindi we call her goddess of sukh and samridhi . their is no goddess of wealth . it is lord Kuber (a yaksh god) who is the god of money .
people gets mistaken as they think money is the basic cause of happiness & good fortune . but it is not ask someone who is really wealthy but dosent have any kids .. ask some one who have tones of money but dosent have peace of mind .. ask some one who have lots of money but lacks a good health .. so she is the goddess of happiness and good fortune not of wealth and beauty .. well we Hindus dosent have the concept of beauty what you think . every thing is beautiful even death as it is created by the mother of all creation .. so dhumati mata is also beautiful even though she sits on a broken chariot with a crow on the chariot and other godesss are similarly beautiful ..
and i stated all the above because you are wrong in your understanding and promoting the same wrong concept ... please research a bit more .. it will give you real clearity of what you are creating ..

she is the wife of Vishnu, if i'm not mistaking. . . i know more about Shiva and Parvati than the rest of the pantheon

Well Kalki if I'm not mistaken is the final avatar, who thus becomes the first because he turns the universe inside out basically and fully realizes Vishnu who was only still only partially expressed through his avatars thus far.. so we both might be right.. lol..

I think Kalki actually just eliminates and punishes all evil, and burns off everyone's bad karma all at once. At least thats how I think of it, I'm a saiva so I don't like the idea of another god taking Shiva's role as the destroyer :/

technically, if you think about it, since every god is a manifestation or aspect of the supreme godhead or Brahman, and thus in a way the same person, everyone's the wife or husband of everyone, and is everyone 
Monism is fun.
