Personally, I agree with you that I could easily imagine Peter Capaldi's Doctor delivering a lot of those same lines... but I could probably imagine any of the post-revival Doctors delivering them, and some of the Classic ones as well.
You know what? That seems like a really good thing. This means the Thirteenth Doctor is the Doctor. If her lines work regardless of the gender of the speaker, it means she's the Doctor in a female form rather than the Female Doctor. I was really worried we'd get the latter, as the worst kind of stunt casting, but if they keep this up I think I'll enjoy it.
