Why won't elves and humans attack me? I have never seen a human and the elves keep sending caravan after caravan only to be slaughtered by my axedwarf. How can I go to war with them?

And yes, if I remember correctly, goblins, elves and humans were present on my embark square.

If you haven't seen a human by your 2nd or 3rd summer odds are good you wont, as for elves, do stuff like seize goods from caravans, offer to trade them wooden goods, cut down every tree on your map(I don't know if this still gets under their skirts but it use to in 40d and earlier), usually just killing them every time they visit works though. It can take a rather long time, though, so just keep slaughtering them and messing with them and eventually they'll figure it out.

I don't think theyre as big as hippies about trees as they were before with the deforestation, I just clear cut my entire map (I still have over 300 units of the stuff!) and they didnt give a damn

Did you mod them to have diplomats?  They won't give a damn unless you do.

It also seems to vary from world to world.  I've had elves refuse to get angry at me despite clear-cutting the entire map.  On the other hand, in my current fortress, the elven diplomat showed up once, scolded me, then left.  Every year since then, they've sent sieges, even when I didn't cut down any trees that year.
