I've thought about this before. If I was in the place of Elrond or Gandalf, I don't think I would have let them tag along; they're just not solemn(?) enough. But of course, Elrond and Gandalf are infinately wiser than I.
Apparently, they did make the right choice. Merry and Pippin were very important in the Shire in the end. One of my favorite parts one when the the big guy was was picking on him, and he got worked up and drew his Gondorian blade! They really did make the story a whole lot better.
