Perhaps it was to give Frodo hope. Out of the tumultuous destruction of Numenor, hope was born, and Elendil and his sons managed to escape and found two of the greatest realms in Middle-earth. I think that vision was to give Frodo hope, since that was what Elendil's escape really meant (at least to me). Those who followed the forces of good would always be succoured, even when all times seemed dark and everything seemed hopeless.
