Why do we have fossils for only about 250,000 different species, although there must have been millions more species?

1.Fossils can form only if exposed to air, and most fossils are buried. 2.Fossils formed only where there were major disruptive geologic events, so they are relatively rare. 3.Fossils are found close to the surface so many have been destroyed by development. 4.Many ancient and extinct species were very soft, so did not fossilize well.
