Elendil was High King because of his relation to the royal line of Númenor. Correct. But Elessar was King because of his relation to Elendil and Isildur. His claim did not depend on being a descendant of Elros, but of Elendil. Elros is never mentioned. Elros is probably a forgotten legend to most of the Dúnedain. Elendil is what matters.
