I think the elves had weaknesses and failings and are at least somewhat responsible for their--can I use this word?--eventual extinction in Middle-earth.

There are much more things at play that caused their extinction - the consuming of their body by their fea, the destruction of their body by the marring of Melkor - but first and foremost: they are destined to make way for the Men. Their actions, good or bad, could not have changed any of these.
