"I find your statement about melee range quite strange. Why don't you complain about said Jayce in the very same situation?"

Duh... Because Jayce will typically face melee champions in top lane (Say Darius, Lee Sin, Jax, Irelia, Riven...). Switching to his hammer stance will only put him in equal range of his opponent unless he's facing Teemo, Nidalee or some shit. Mid lane on the other hand is crawling with ranged champions bar a couple of niche picks. Melee champions have a hard time there unless they have either strong burst damage or reliable farming tools (Gragas, Diana, Kat, Talon, Eve...). Elise has neither. She is a decent DPS'er but definitely not a burster. And like I said, her farming is not very good. Just try pushing her to tower and watch her burning all her mana to get last hits in human form.

My point is that I don't feel like mid lane will be her ideal place. She doesn't scale brutally off AP like most mages and she needs to be at close range to deal her damage. Feels like a tanky DPS mage if I ever saw one...
