I agree with you, it would be better if the darkness was more of an influence against humans and monsters than a real being. They never really deal with them till the last 2-3 episodes in the season, but the winchesters go across them every now and then, maybe like levithan. The war between the darkness and God was really about them fighting themselves from coming evil, which Lucifer lost.
