I think perhaps, having the gift of foresight, she saw that it would be futile to attempt to keep Aragorn and Arwen apart. Elrond, not having this gift, could only look at his own feelings on the matter. His loss. Anyway, by arraying him as an Elven lord, she sort of gave fate a boost. In this she was a matchmaker, but a very subtle one. She didn't actually say anything like "Aragorn, meet my beautiful, intelligent, SINGLE granddaughter who just happens to be the spitting image of Tinuviel and makes a mean lembas." She just gave Aragorn an advantage.
