Should Gondor have given Calenardhon to the Dunlendings?
Yes, they should, but they didn't. The idea would never enter their minds.
Gondor would not see the Dunlendings as either a threat or as an asset.
Like any other self-respecting Master Race, the Gondorians would view sub-humans (i.e. anyone not of Numenorean decent) as of no account and not worthy of any considerstion.
The relationship between Gondor and the Rohirrim was different. Those Northerners had saved Gondor and, although they were not Numenorean, it could be said that they might have ancestors who had be elf-friends in The First Age, and, therefore, almost as superior as Gondorians.
