From a logic perspective - considering that most nobility came from the "survival of the fittest" mentality as simply superior to others in their tribes - Most of the "Elite" are actually rich, powerful, and generally in their current position because they are better than the rest of us common folk.
I'm just thinking that a guy like Warren Buffet is obviously smarter and better than I am at adapting and surviving in today's world.
Considering that we trace most of the "Elite" bloodlines back to pre-Jesus era folks... it would stand to reason that those tribes, families, or whatever have OBVIOUSLY better genes than the rest of us or else OUR families would be the "Elite".
So - all this as a preface - if TSHTF, and the End of the world comes, why NOT the Elite to carry on the human race?
Discuss among yourselves...
Funny how such primitive ways can look so sophisticated. Kinda makes you wonder how much we really have evolved doesn't it?

Here is where your argument falls apart. Most of the "elite" and their families got that was because of unethical, illegal behavior and a willingness to step on anybody's back and f**k anyone over for money and power.
JP Morgan bought broken guns from the army during the civil war and sold them back to the army unfixed at a tidy profit knowing that they would blow soldiers' hands off.
Look at the monopolistic ways that Rockefeller behaved in the development of Standard Oil.
Do some research into how many "elite" families made their money from opium trafficking (the Roosevelts and the Tafts-yes, presidential families come most immediately to mind.
So to answer your question-why not the elite?
Because they are unethical, untrustworthy, greedy, and sociopathic.
They are not better, they just steal and kill better than the average person.

Ofcourse, you're absolutely right about these 'elites' being better than the rest of the common folk.
But the question is better with regards to what?
Simple, they're better in the following:
1. they are persistent, much more persistent than the average Joe.
2. They are better at passing on wisdom and accumulated finances to their children. Hence their kids don't have to start from scratch, but can take over whatever their parents have given them and build on it, so the next generation can be even more prosperous.
This is about the only two things they're better at.
There is absolutely no proof that they have better morals, or have hopes for mankind. Thus from a completely materialistic point of view, they are better than we are. But you need a little more than materialism to be worthy of passing on as representatives for mankind.
Infact, it is my personal believe that we need the good, the bad, the lazy and the hardworking in order to move on and survive. Because only such a combination of people can create a constant learning environment for the children of mankind. And learning means moving forward.
