I just noticed the terrible looking CC mint mark on the 2021 Morgans? It looks nothing like the original. Am I missing something or did the mint really screw this up?

Yes you are, the CC and the O were minted at Philadelphia (no mintmark). they have privy marks

There was some thought given to trying to use the Carson City equipment but something about it being cost prohibitive to restore the press. There’s some very good threads on this . The O mm situation had no chance as I recall.
Personally I like the privy marks better than the teeny tiny mm on the others. 🤔

IMO the "CC" is the most important feature of the coin and to have it altered...
I wouldn't even want one of these in my collection it just doesn't look right
After looking more closely isn't the whole coin off? Why would they change it?
I like the addition of the privy mark on coins but really wish that they had stayed with the original "CC" mint mark.

It is what they term a 'privy' mark.... Indicating something and, in this case, indicating not actually minted at Carson City (or New Orleans)....but included to acknowledge the minting of the old coins at those two defunct mints. Cheers, RickO
