Cold and heat are a subjective description of the energy-level of materia. Hot materia has a higher enery-level than cold materia and is emitting more or less photons (I think) of a certain enery.
With dark and light it's similar - it's the presence or absence of photons. And we should keep in mind, that we aren't able to see the whole light spectrum! When we talk of dark, then we are meaning, that there are no photons, that we are able ot see.
Space.... That's a difficult one. If space wouldn't exist, than things would be very .. uhm ... tight. So, yep, space exists definitely!
We are very limited in understanding our world - so defining space=nothing, is only the way WE are able to see/feel/whatever it. IMO that doesn't have to mean, that there IS nothing or that something doesn't really exist.
