I thought Peter Jackson had Haldir die in order to underscore the Arwen/Elrond scenes about mortality. The death of an elf is somehow more shocking. Haldir didn't have to be there and could have chosen eternity had he not put himself into battle. Throughout the movie Arwen and Elrond and Aragorn struggled over Arwen's choice of mortality. Haldir's death was a heroic statement about the elves' role in the fight against Mordor and also emphasized what Arwen was choosing.
