Why do comedies typically go out of date more quickly than tragedies?

Public tastes in humor change over time, and if any jokes were topical to when the book/play/movie was written, a later audience might not be familiar enough with the context to understand or appreciate it.

Why is Commedia dell'Arte important?
Because it forms the basis of our modern drama and the characters can be easily recognised within modern soaps and romantic comedies. What is generally considered Shakespeare's inventiveness when it comes to comic scenes and characterisation can also be identified in the commedia scenarios, some of which pre-date his plays.

What did Shakespeare do between 1599 and 1614?
Pretty much the same things as he did between 1594-1598 and 1608-1613: he acted, wrote plays and helped in the management of the partnership. In the period 1598-1608 he wrote most of his most famous tragedies (excepting Romeo and Juliet). He did not write histories (except for Henry V in 1598 at the very beginning of the period). In the middle of this period he wrote a number of dark and troublesome comedies like Measure for Measure and Troilus and Cressida, but by the end of it he was writing a new kind of comedy as exemplified in Pericles (printed in 1609).
How many plays had shakespeare written by 1592?
Because we don't know exactly when Shakespeare wrote his plays, but can only make extremely educated guesses, we cannot be absolutely sure about this one. There are also some "out of left field" factors which might affect it, like the possibility that Shakespeare may have written one or more early plays which were so awful that they were quietly thrown away and forgotten about. But most everyone agrees that Shakespeare wrote the second and third parts of Henry VI before 1592 and a lot of people think he wrote the first part before 1592 also. In addition to that, he may have written three or four of his other early plays, like The Comedy of Errors, Love's Labour's Lost, Titus Andronicus or The Two Gentlemen of Verona before that date. Or possibly none of them. We don't know.
