1) Elrond never claimed the title of High King of the Noldor in Exile, though he could have it seems that all claimants die a horrible death. He also could not have claimed the title King of Beleriand as Earnendil is still alive, and he did not renounce his claims to it. 2) Aragorn's elven blood was diluted to the point that 60-70 generations were between Aragorn and Elwing. His lifespan, as Ithilion said, is due to his renewal of the Realms in Exile. 3) Elrond although might have had a claim, Aragorn's was far stronger, as Recneps and Thindi said Aragorn is a direct descendant of Elros, just not through the firstborn line. Regardless of sematics the title King of Numenor died with Ar-Pharazon. The titles the Heirs of Elendil held were completely new.
