It seems we live in a culture where projecting your fears on others is a hobby. This is usually done by people with no direct knowledge about the subject. I have always felt safe riding at nights, because of reasons already mentioned. So I have direct knowledge and I don’t think your mad. I’ve found it’s best to not tell other non cyclists about my cycling activities, it usually results in exactly what happened to you. Something along the lines of telling your wife about your girlfriend, not really any upside to this either.
