Círdan was the tradesman of the Elves, the good hard-working bloke's bloke. He had a job to do. He had the often thankless chore of maintaining a safe haven for the Elves to sail west, all throughout the turmoils of three ages. His role in giving to Gandalf Narya, the red ring, also should not be undervalued (although maybe Gandalf would have been given the ring by someone else).
