Wrt your logic, I have some questions:

Are there infinitely many "dark" numbers?

Yes.

Is there only a finite number of "light" numbers?

Yes, a potential infinity.

As in a global database with all of the numbers witnessed by humans? Say a little kid, say 3 years old has never saw the number 42 before... So, this number is light because I just wrote it, it is not dark. However, it is "dark" wrt the the kid? If a number is stored in the database, is it light or dark, WM?

Depends on the accessibility of the database. Darkness depends on the system.

 Another questions: What's the relevance of this nonsense for math?

Nothing.

 I mean, isn't, say, n+n = 2n or 1+...+n = (n+1)*n/2, etc. for ALL natural numbers n, not just for the light ones? <facepalm>

Yes, that is to be assumed but cannot be proven.
