In The Tower, one of the Exos mentions she was there when the Fallen burned London. London wasn't destroyed by The Darkness?

Could The Darkness primarily have used chemical or biological weapons to wipe out humanity prompting us to respond and fight back with immune versions of ourselves in the form of Exos?

I think The Darkness is an enabling force that strengthens and guides The Four Races of The Apocalypse, using them to physically destroy the allies of The Traveler. I think The Darkness doesn't act against humanity directly, but as a puppet master, directing others to do its work.
