Gimli did not have the foresight to predict the year of his passing into the West with Legolas. Legolas decided to leave Middle-earth after the death of King Elessar, so there was not a set date for their departure that Gimli could have written in the genealogy either. Thus we are left to conclude that it was someone else who added the date of Legolas and Gimli's departure to the family tree.
