Technically, they did send all their Admiral-tier marines to one battle. As well as the Fleet Admiral and one of the few Vice-Admirals we know that can stand with the Admirals. And, of course, all the Buster Call Vice-Admirals. And the Cyborg division. And thousands upon thousands more. And the Shichibukai.
While there is some sense to the idea that some powerful people were left out of the Whitebeard War (someone needed to watch Dragon and Big Mom), Oda made it blatantly clear that the Marines were going all in for the war. They pulled out all stops, used all their top resources, and dedicated their very existence as a military force to destroying Whitebeard and his crew. The best of the best participated in the war.
