"we can't live long in the heights"
[In reply to]

Can't Post

Just came across this bit from RotK that sums it up nicely:
"Dear me, we Tooks and Brandybucks, we can't live long in the heights."
"No‟ said Merry, 'I can't, not yet at any rate. But at least that then, we can now see them and honor them. It is best to love first what you're fitted to love. I suppose you must start somewhere and have some roots and the soil of the Shire is deep. Still there are things deeper and higher and not a Gaffer could tend his garden in what he calls peace but for them. Whether he knows about them or not. I am glad I know about them a little.'"

Bilbo brought luck to the Erebor quest at times; maybe Gandalf saw that in him.//

Perhaps to introduce the Shire-folk to future dangers?
