Well, maybe you're looking at it from different angle, then. You are viewing the basic elements as quite weak. Elements have immense power if wielded correctly.

Fighting with water IS weak if all you do is shooting water balls at your opponent. Ever heard of water cutting? Or maybe using the water in opponent's body? Humans are mostly made out of water. And just like I said, snow/ice is just water at lower temperature. So just use the vapor and humidity in the air, draw water from living organisms, freeze it, boil it, compress it, water can be immensely devastating element when used cleverly.

Air element users could suffocate any enemy, or use pressure to their advantage. Or if we're talking just wind, ever heard of Neptune? Winds in its atmosphere are so immensely fast and powerful, that if you were there for a second, you would get ripped to shreds.

Also, fusing Fire and Earth doesn't make much sense. Fire is heated gas, so if you were to mix those two properly, you would just create earth sponge filled with gas. If you think about it, magma hardly ever even comes into contact with fire, since there isn't much gas where magma is underground. Magma is created by heating up earth.
