Morgoth did not just distribute his power amoung many things... He practically 'aided' in the making of Arda.

Yet it is told among the Eldar that the Valar endeaveoured ever, in despite of Melkor, to rule the Earth and to prepare it for the coming of the Firstborn; and they built lands and Melkor destroyed them; valleys they delved and Melkor raised them up; ... and naught might have peace or come to lasting growth, for as surely as the Valar began a labour so would Melkor undo it or corrupt it.

His control over his evil elements was 'cut off' when he was shot off into space, but Morgoth himself is still out there, albeit unable to influence anything on Arda. If Sauron equals to Morgoth, then the only way you can destroy Morgoth is to destroy the entire Middle-Earth...
