By creating a major character out of Arwen in the first movie, wouldn't people have asked "Where's that nice young princess, then? I thought she was one of the main characters." They would expect her to be in the second film, doing just as much as in the first. <BR>Having Haldir and the elves at Helm's Deep just made it more interesting. It's all playing up to the audience. Not everyone is there just to see how it compares to the books.
