Do you realize that is a minimum of 360,000K base miles per year! Using the bottom range of your quote and assuming you travel all in J (instead of J/F as stated) you would qualify for Diamond in less than 6 months. Using the top end of your quote you'd qualify for MPC Diamond in 2.3 months! Further, if your really did travel that much on CX and credited the miles to CX I think you'll find yourself being accelerated through the tiers.

My guess is MPC read this and, with respect, did not believe the numbers.
