Warcraft3 however included the night Elves and the Undead as well though. The is no reason they couldn't have added another race in SC2.

Other than the fact that there is no viable fourth race, and they need to keep it distinct from Warcraft in terms of gameplay.  The only race, Xel'Naga, are against killing by lore (which is required in multiplayer) and suffer from being larger than life similar to the Burning Legion or Titans of Warcraft lore. To maintain the larger than life status would cause game balance to be impossible. While all the races have their impressive units and abilities in lore, they are always portrayed as being equal but inferior to the Xel'Naga save for a few sneak attacks here and there.

Because Night Elves and Undead were so terribly on the table back during Warcraft 2 Beyond the Dark Portal right? They managed to pull 2 races out of their ass, they could have easily done so for SC2 as well.
