Tolkien says why 
Glorfindel I: an Elf who had once known Middle-earth and had fought in the long wars would be an eminently suitable companion for Gandalf -- of whom he was already a friend and follower . . .
. . . superseded by . . .
Glorfindel II: returned for the purpose of strengthening Gil-galad and Elrond, when the growing evil of Sauron was at last perceived by them, or later in 1600 when war was inevitable with Sauron.
And Tolkien noted (regarding the invasion of Eriador) "and that not (yet) mentioned in the annals recording Sauron's defeat, he played a notable part in the war."
