About why Melkor didn't destroy the Silmarils: why destroy pretty and shiny jewels when you can gloat over them?
Why he didn't wipe out the Noldor in one hit: If he could, I think he was waiting to make it big. I think he wanted to be remembered in history as the great big evil Vala who destoryed the Noldor once in for all, in one big swipe of his power.
Or he was just an idiot, either way...
