What other stories have a comparable character to Tom Bombadil?

Why are there so many Tom types in LOTR?

>tom
>that elf guy that helped the hobbits right after tom
>ghan-buri-ghan
>dernhelm

I'm sure I'm missing a couple but what's the point of having a character show up, help then disappear never to be mentioned again? It's bad writing

>was really wise
>people in charge killed him
>came back anyways
>did some more magic stuff

Just offered advice to the other characters, didn't really help overthrow the empire.
