I would also like to see moon elves.
My guess is that WotC in not making a distinction was trying to get away from some of the things they introduced in 3.5 -- sun elf supremacist organizations and the like which got a bit too close to real world politics for my taste. (and did so in a problematic way)
But the solution isn't to eliminate the distinction but avoid making links to real world politics imo.
