We had to make a choice between leaving huge areas of land empty and uninhabited, or inventing new races to fill the gaps. We thought the second one would be less bad, so there you go. I didn't think the new inventions were that bad - I mean, it's not like there are things lifted straight from the real world, or evil Harad dwarves, or a whole new race of beings, or something else ridiculous like you tend to find in other LOTR non-canon. And about the 'too far away to be significant' - well, that's the whole reason I am doing this, so that Harad has enough content that people do think it's significant.

Wainriders and Variags will come when I start working on Rhun, Harad was selected as the first priority. And the Corsairs have been held off because I don't want to have to code ships and I don't want to have fans crying at me asking why I added Corsairs but no Corsair Ships.
