Based on those rules:

I have a flight from BWI-MIA-RSW and there has been a schedule change in BWI from 2:40 to 3:20p. I know that when that happens I can exercise the above said rule and opt for a more convenient timing or flights. Even with the changed time I still have 4 hours in Miami.

I wanted to change from BWI to DCA, cause its way closer to me, but AA CSR said the rule is at least 1 hour for a airport change. Have I been swindled, or do I have the right to change the airport or timing?
