There's no real reason to see him get the Map and Key. It's explained away by Gandalf in the beginning of Smaug. "He came to see me before he disappeared." I think it was as simple as that, and based on what we saw in the trailer for the extended edition, it seems he might regret even giving the map and key to Gandalf.

Because we kept seeing Thrain in the early trailers and we just assumed that it was the map and key scenes. We knew Gandalf met Thrain in Dol Guldor in AUJ , but the scene got bumped to DOS and then cut from theatrical cut and we've been curious about those Thrain scenes since the first Hobbit teaser. Now most of us know that the Thrain scenes have nothing to do with the map and key but some of us havent yet heard that those scenes between him and gandalf arent actually about the map and key so thats why they keep calling them the map and key scenes. Its not really about the map and key so much as just wanting to see those Thrain scenes finally.
