I know that many birds don't experience spiciness. They eat chili peppers and that is generally how pepper plants get spread around rather than pollination. Is it possible that dolphins don't react to spicy food because nothing in the ocean is naturally spicy?

Maybe they feel the heat but have grown to not care about it or even enjoy it. Humans willingly eat spicy stuff all the time.

Pollination is the transfer of pollen to stigma. Pepper plants also undergo pollination. The birds help in seed dispersal, they are not a replacement for pollination.
