Well we need to look at the fluff and what the Elan is.
It is stated they where mortals once, and that they where later made into Elan.
Sounds to me like Elan is a Template not a static race. Of course though we treat them as a base psionic race. But I am curious as to why?
What would happen if someone had a human character or so and eventually Roleplayed them into the Elan race why would that remove their bonus feat, ect when it is basically turning them into immortal humanoids?
I mean Elan is a good way to explain an Azlanti still wandering around as the Azlanti could have been turned into an Elan, but still possess the aspects of the Elan (The bonus feat and so forth) Why would it remove their former race?

An Elan is a race because they are transformed into a new race. If they were a template they would be the same person with new abilities. Basically their old mind is erased, and they get brand new physical abilities.
If you were a level 20 ____ and went through the Elan transformation you would come out as a level 1 _____ with almost no memory of your old life.
You are only human in appearance.
As a GM you can say that the Azlanti were transformed, and another reason they are different is because the flavor says so.
Azlanti also have superior stats to normal humans.
An idea you could use is to have an Azlanti still keep their Azlanti stats in Elan form. By that I mean the +2 to every attribute score.
