I thought it was pretty clear from Toland's quote that the Darkness sees all life as competition, and therefore eliminates it, where as the Traveler creates or accelerates life. They are diametric opposites somewhat equal in strength and technical sophistication and as such are mirrors of one another.
Reminds me of Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series. Two entities: one wants pure destruction, the other was the make life. Both are perfectly equal in strength. Well, until one isn't... But the reason the evil one is "winning" in the book is because the good entity gave part of it's power to humans, to create things. Kinda reminds me of Guardians and light actually.
