Those who say he should...
Why?
Is your reason really a valid one, or just novelty?
burrahobbit's assertion is correct. The trilogy is set when the age of Man is dawning. Dwarves and elves are fading away; the world is changing. If you want to read about a lot of 'noble' elves, then you should pick up the Silmarillion.
Besides, Legolas was of 'noble' blood...his father was the King of the elven population of Mirkwood.
