You have to expand on the idea of CR and QoS being two parts of the same story. In order to develop the character we all know and love, it was necessary not only for Bond to go through what he did in CR, but also what he goes through in QoS. The death of Vesper leaves him fractured in a way that prevents him from breaking the Bond barrier.
After QoS Spoiler: Bond has closure on Vesper (forgiving her posthumously and capturing her ex) and is armed with intelligence on Quantum from Greene. He's further matured in preparation for the road ahead; a road that requires the James Bond of yesteryear in order to take down Quantum.
At least that's my take.
