Why was there no high king after Gil-Galad?
Gil-galad was the last High King; after his time the title was never used, as he fathered no children and no obvious heirs of the House of Finwë remained in Middle-earth. Galadriel of the House of Finarfin perhaps had some rights, but did not claim them.

Why didn’t Elrond become high king of the noldor?
Q: Why Didn’t Elrond Become King of the Noldor? ANSWER: J.R.R. Tolkien used the rule of agnatic primogeniture, in which only sons of the male line may inherit royal titles — at least far as the Noldorin kingships are concerned. Elrond was the son of Eärendil, who was not a male-line descendant of Finwë.
Did Gil Galad marry?
As far as I am aware, Gil-galad did not marry, so therefore, he had no children, which was why Elrond (I think), became his heir. Why did elves in general have so few children, I’m as much in the dark as you are, hope someone can tell us.

Was Elrond High King of the Noldor?
If Gildor was ineligible to succeed Gil-galad then Elrond certainly had no legal right to claim the High Kingship of the Noldor-in-Exile. But Gil-galad was also High King of the Elves of the West (in Middle-earth). On the other hand, Elrond led the Eldar in the Third Age and he allied himself with Arnor and Arthedain.
