No, I'm fairly sure he stayed. Middle-Earth was his domain; he was in fact very down to earth.
Kalimac, from your post it seems that your idea of Bombadil is of some absent-minded, eccentric, rather comedic figure. Actually, this is far from the truth. Bombadil's wisdom was incredible; remember the stories he told to the Hobbits, and the consideration of inviting him to the Council of Elrong? If he appears eccentric and over-light-hearted, it is because he percieves things very clearly.
Not everyone of power left, by any means. The High Elves had to go, because their time was over and Middle-Earth had passed into the hands of Men. The Istari (well Gandalf anyway; anyone know what happened to Radagast?) had to go, because their job in ME was over. Sauron was accounted for. But other than them, while most of the 'powerful ones' were them, everyone stayed.
