Why are (some/most) humans instinctively afraid of the dark and feel safe in the light, when through a survival viewpoint it should be the other way around?

This is kinda psychology/biology maybe? Sorry if it’s tagged wrong. 

If darkness enables an animal to hide from others, wouldn’t we feel better in the dark rather than in the light because we’re more exposed in the light? 

Does it have something to do with the fact we aren’t accustomed to seeing in the dark and some other creatures are?

A tribe of humans are close to the toughest mofos on the plain, in daylight, when we know what is coming.  We communicate well, we work well together, we're bigger than most things, we have weapons including 'stand off' defences (ie we can throw spears and rocks and fire arrows etc).

Our biggest danger is a surprise attack, on an individual.  And that is far more likely to happen at night.
