They went to M-E to wrest the Jewels off Morgoth. They were fighting a war and M-E was war ravaged. Elven Men presumably were better at ruling during war-time. This was why the Numenorean law of succession was changed when they came to M-E, as attested by Arvedui.
The Numenorean change was due to Tar-Aldarion being without a son and because of the bad rleations bewteen him and Erendis. Note, the eldest females didn't have to accept to sceptre and could refuse it, if they chose to.
