For the record, mortals weren't banned from Valinor because they were evil, or the Valar didn't like them - they weren't meant to go there simply because mortals die, whereas Valinor was the Undying Lands - at first, it would have been paradise (ie: for the duration Frodo etc stay there) but eventually life, unable to die or jealous of the undying, would become unbearable for mortals.
