Gimli and Legolas' discussion was not merely to show the differences between the races, but to also show how much each race can contribute.  The races have really remained isolated from each other, each tending to their own realms, and having limited contact with the others.  I always thought Tolkien's main point here was to highlight the fact that Gondor was like an island, you know, only worring about itself and caring little about the other parts of the world and the people that live in them.  Here we learn that contributions from other races could have made Gondor a much more splendid place.  It's part of the overall theme in the book of unity, coming together for a common cause, helping each other out, etc....and just highlights the fact that up until now Gondor (and other realms) had not cared to do this.
