False. There is a big difference between fear and instincts. You don't have to be afraid of heights to know that jumping off a 100 story building is going to kill you and you shouldn't do it. etc
And my advice holds 100% true in this specific case. The only reason people are afraid of the dark, is because they don't know what could be there. They are FALSELY being afraid of things that aren't even there, simply because they can't see everything as clearly.
People are scared something is going to jump out from behind a tree and attack them at night. When in reality, the chances of that happening are no greater than it happening in the middle of broad day light. But these thoughts don't even cross those people's minds in the daytime, so why should they at night? There's no good reason, other than that their false emotions are appearing real.
Should your fear of the dark go beyond 10 yrs old?
