He had other matters to take care of. He had told the dwarves all along that he was not going all the way with them. Gandalf went off to a meeting with other wizards. They drove the Necromancer out of Mirkwood.

because if he stayed the dwarves and Bilbo would make it through too easily and the story would be dull. Besides, it lets Bilbo show his self-worth.

Why is it nesscary to the story that Gandolf leave the experdition The Hobbit?

He had other pressing matters. You find out later that he drove the Necromancer (Sauron) out of the Mirkwood area. Addendum: The above is definitely the reason given in the Hobbit: Gandalf and the White Council drive Sauron from Dol Guldur forcing him to relocate to his old realm of Mordor. It turns out Sauron was ready for this and didn't suffer much from the displacement. However, it should be noted there's also a literary reason for this. In terms of plot and Bilbo's development as a heroic character, it really is required that Gandalf be moved offstage. Gandalf is too powerful, too capable, and too overwhelming a figure. If Gandalf's there, he'd wave his staff, say a few words, and all problems would be resolved and we'd have a book without drama. Gandalf can handle a few spiders and would just talk to the Elf King who he's probably on a first name basis with. Because Gandalf is gone, Bilbo is forced to assume the mantle of leadership and save the dwarves from the spiders, then the elves, and then confront the dragon alone. This is pretty common in literature and movies. The hero must be left to face adversity alone because its through this process that he or she becomes the hero.
