To my mind, no single lineage can outweigh the importance of the culture from which it sprang. In my opinion, Numenor's most important legacies are the common history that it provides for Elves and Men; its literature, which records a great deal of useful information that would otherwise be forgotten, and its technology, which proves so valuable in countering the common enemy.
I also see the fall of Numenor as a salutory lesson in humility to any society, which is never a bad thing to have.
