In, my opinion, the presence of Morgoth on the front line would not have helped his armies much. He was probably a lot better off nice and safe in Angband, where he could control his armies on the field objectively instead of from the confusion in the middle of a battle.
Also, would Morgoth really have made a good warrior? He was not brave as he knew fear, and his body could quite probably have been slain (at least Fingolfin managed to maim him forever - and that was in single combat). He just wouldn't have taken the risk of going into battle.

Dagor Dagorath?! I presume you mean Dagor Bragollach. The Dagor Dagorarth is the final battle that will take place at the end of the world.
