Why then didn't Aragorn, also a descendant from a half-elf get to choose? or if not Aragorn, as he was far too removed, why not the first few kings of Numenor?

As I understand it the choice was given to the sons of Earendil and Elwing, who were Elros and Elrond.
There was no question of Elros or his descendants having the option to become immortal at some later stage - if there had been , the downfall of Numenor would never have happened .
Elrond's choice meant his children were Elven . Arwen's was the " choice of Luthien " , which was a different matter altogether .
