Basically in the past they were able to tame/control elephants and us them in battle but why not a rhino or a hippo?

For starters, both the animals you’ve listed *have* been tamed because they live in zoos and interact with/are cared for by humans. They’re not domesticated but they’re able to be peaceful and interact with humans.
You’re also presupposing that that we haven’t because we can’t and not because we simply don’t want to. Elephants are useful work animals for humans in some parts of the world. They’re very intelligent, strong, and can carry a lot of weight. Those are all traits that make them useful in parts of the world where they’re found.Rhinos and hippos are just *not* useful for humans. Hippos are mean, aggressive, and spend much of their time being lazy in the water. They’re just not useful to humans. And in the area here rhinos live, there just wasn’t ever any need for a large animal like that.
