Evolution is driven by selective pressure. If trolls were already suited to their selective pressure, they wouldnt change much. They might get taller, stronger, bigger tusked, or whatever traits female trolls look for.
If you consider that modern man is pretty much the same as homo sapiens from the stone age, then you'll see that without a major change in selective pressure (or the intervention of a deity), then not changing is normal.
Why the night elves can't accept that they might be related to trolls is most likely due to their own over inflated egos. Maybe their inability to recognise the culture and widespread civilisation that the troll empires created stems from their depressing belief that they are the 'chosen' of a goddess. The way they casually abandoned their brethren when they were in need only increases my dislike of them.
