"But if its not mistaken, Galadriel is greater than Elrond in Tolkiens mind."

As I said before it all depends on what Tolkien means by 'Great' in this usage. He could merely mean that Feanor and Galadriel were the most prominent Eldarin rulers or maybe just the most famous.

"And, lastly, Lothlorien and the kingdom of Thranduil were the most important elven regions during the War of the Ring on the 3rd age, according to the UT. Not Imladris."

Actually we have no idea what was happening in Eriador during the great battles. The disappearance of the Rangers and the fact that some of the conflict leaks through to guarded Bree suggests that they, and probably Elrond too, are very busy somewhere.

"Besides, Elrond was NOT reading Sauron´s mind as Galadriel was."

Says who? Just because Elrond doesn't show off by *saying* how much he's doing doesn't mean he was doing nothing.
