No Dark Elf, Elrond did not leave Middle Earth while Frodo was on the quest. And the question you asked is a good one, and certainly food for thought. The only thing I can think of right off the top of my head, is what someone else said in another thread about Elrond being a higher elf, and so sauron might have spotted him and recognized him and his intention because of it. And since the fellowship was attempting to travel in secret, I suppose it wasn't the best idea to draw unneeded attention.

Something will hit me later and I will get back to you.

Later,
Leona
