It's been established that energybending is lost to mankind...it's sort of like evolution (in a thoretical sense, I'm not implying anything about personal religion or beliefs). Energybending is the original species, so to speak. It branched off in four ways, water, fire, earth, and air. It would be akin to one ancient large cat species dividing into four groups, separating to different areas, and turning (due to environment, etc) into lions, tigers, jaguars, and bobcats. The original cat species no longer exists, because all it's descendants are changed or dead. Only the avatar (and a lion turtle, as it's the only living thing that was alive in the era of energybending) has the ability to use energybending, as has been established as fact.
