Interesting! I vaguely remember studies associated with innate instinctual fears associated with falling and reptiles, but I hadn't heard anything about fear of darkness. But it makes total sense.
I think it's interesting that the fear of being trapped is probably learned. I mean, you average newborn doesn't spass out when put into a papoose, right? But in the wild, being trapped in a pit/under a tree should cause you to panic. I guess it's learned.
On the opposite side, I bet there's an innate fear of being away from mommy or fear of being alone in newborns that eventually fades away with maturity.
