I'm not a real die hard fan, but as far as I know Tolkien doesn't say exactly. I think the elves represent the forces of good to saurons forces of evil. Once sauron is defeted for good, there is no need for them.
the first three ages of middle earth deal with the war bewteen morgoth, sauron & orcs vs. the elves, dwarves & men.
here's a link to some timelines for the various ages of middle earth
