By the word "Incarnation" are meant those who have attained that Brahmanhood, in other words, the Jivanmuktas -- those who have realized this freedom in this very life.
I do not find any specialty in Incarnations: all beings from Brahma down to a clump of grass will attain to liberation-in-life in course of time, and our duty lies in helping all to reach that state.
This help is called religion; the rest is irreligion.
