I agree with you entirely, but that's not so much a fault of the origin of those concepts. More likely it's the fault of unoriginal writers churning out pulp fantasy..and I find the DnD world to be so 'cluttered' and far from epic or surreal, but rather bordering on contemporary and 'popular' concepts.

I am creating concept art for a table top RPG (private use) that has trolls still outwardly appearing as huge behemoths with massive tusks...but in reality being misunderstood warrior poets with a deep affinity with the fey folk that they share their forest with. So I can see exactly where you're coming from.

EDIT

PS: I am no fan of elves..never have been never will be, it seems that they have developed a form of cult worship...I have nothing really against them..but it does seem that everytime there is fantasy, there is an elf thrown into the mix and they are always "teh beautiful!!11!"
