If every Eldar that died was transformed into a Harlequin, there would be a huge number of Harlequin Troups, instead of the few that there are (think space marine chapters vs all the rest of the imperium of mankind for scale), Harlequins would have a force that would rival the entirety of the Eldar. Harlequins that die, may be recycled by The Laughing God, but only Harlequins, and to some extent Solitaires of the Harlequins, are protected from Slaanesh without soul stones. If there is growth with Harlequins, lore could incorporate Eldar souls lost in the webway (and therefore protected from She Who Thirsts) as being recycled into Harlequins by Cegorach, Harlequin souls themselves, and a few Solitaire souls. He is the strongest of the Eldar Gods in my opinion, as he was the only one to survive the Fall of the Eldar Gods. It would make sense that he could create a devout spawn in His image, like the gods of Chaos do.
