If all soap isn’t antibacterial, what is the purpose of the natural/cute soaps we use to wash our hands? And do the natural soaps actually clean bacteria?

It is.
All soap will help remove bacteria from your skin, thus making it antibacterial. Just gotta wash your hands properly.
Similarly most, if not all, soaps will outright kill certain kinds of bacteria without having any kind of added bactericidal ingredient. The soap molecules do this by wiggling into the bacterial cell wall and disrupting it enough to kill the bacterium.
