There were still Dúnedain in Gondor and the company that met Sam and Frodo were Dúnedain led by Faramir. These are not mere Men. They are of a different sort. Although Gondor is on its last legs at this point and I'm sure a focused effort by Sauron and his armies could certainly overthrow the realm.
It seems Sauron was doing other things. Making the trolls more cunning, the introduction of a new breed of trolls, the Rings of Power et cetera. It appears that Sauron may have had a hand in the making/breeding of Orcs himself. Melkor came up with the idea, and sometimes he'd grow frustrated in projects which Sauron would complete.
