In the days of the last Kings of Gondor before Aragorn, namely Earnil and Earnur, Gondor sent forces to Cirdan's Havens to fight the Witch King. During that war, Glorfindel actually told the Gondor heir that the Witch King wouldn't be killed by "the hand of man".
Surely during that exchange or in subsequent conversations the location of Rivendell, Glorfindel's home at that time, would have been mentioned ? And these events were only a thousand years or so before the War of the Ring.
And even during Ecthelion's final years as Steward of Gondor Thorongil might have mentioned Elrond and Rivendell to him ?
Gondor's ignorance of Rivendell's location doesn't add up.
