The obvious reason would be to be able to get a bane that finally affects one of the human races, after all its not very fair when its your typical mordorVgondor battle, and all of the good guys get +4 against the brunt of the enemy force (orcs) while the bad guys don't get a bonus unless the gondorians have dwarvish or elvish allies in the battle. though "wood-elf bane" does seem a little strange. My vote would be that faction bane for human factions becomes a thing while the current race based ones stay the same. In my opinion, that doesn't really make sense. Men are Men. They have different cultures, but they are all still the same type of being. Tolkien's universe has magic, but the magic is always subtle (except for the few times Gandalf uses it), and I doubt that a sword, even with a bit of magic, would be able to tell the difference between a Southron and a Gondorian.

I do agree that it seems a little unfair in the scenario you depicted, but I don't think that Man-bane is the answer.
