This was from a disregarded draft. At the time they were chosen as stewards, they may not have had the royal connection. 1000 years ruling over Gondor and having married into the Prince's of Dol Amroth at least once then they it's very unlikely they were descendants of Anarion.

The choice to choose what kindred was a special gift given to Earendil and his family due to their sacrifice for ME.

I personally think there is some leeway about what happened to Halfelven before the decision, but once the judgment of Mandos is made all of the Halfelven are mortal.
