Illogical to think the Dunedain would have wanted to have children in a world full of peril.

The Dunedain
did have children. (I take it you mean the Rangers.) Unless, of course, the Northern Dunedain that were around at the end of the Third Age were the same generation that had escaped from the ruin of Arnor. Their small population meant that they could not have many though.
Hmm well it just seems that Arnor seems to have sprang back from the ashes rather quickly, that's all. Unless there were more Dunedain around up there than we realise (which I rather think there were, but not that much). The country would have had few settlements and far between for quite a few years, Bree and the Shire probably being the largest.
