For any of the bending arts, you have to be from the nation from which that element originates. For example, random children in the Earth Kingdom won't suddenly be born with firebending, unless one of their parents (or grandparents, etc.) is actually from the Fire Nation. Since all of the Air Nomads died in the genocide, there weren't any airbenders left to start new families, so nobody could be descendents of the airbenders, so there were no more new airbenders.
