Ah, but destroying Sauron doesn't destroy all evil. It is shaken by his fall - it is not organised, not backed up, it lacks motivation beyond personal gain or survival, etc. - but it's still there. That host of orcs was by no means something ME-threatening; just a band of scattered orcs that grouped together two years after their great loss.
