TL;DR
Is antimatter a thing?
What if pure energy doesn't create matter/antimatter pairs, but entangled matter/matter-wave pairs?
Duality is then literally two separate entities. When something becomes observed, the matter-wave becomes one with the particle it "represents".
I'd say that would give a galaxy the extra mass dark matter is claiming to give. And we could say this is why matter waves have mass.
I'm not sure if it means everything is twice as heavy as it should be or not.

There is the other idea that the matter wave partner is not connected in any way and just gets dumped in a sea of matter waves in the quantum realm (a fog of dark matter).

Again, why do we assume the big bang created matter/antimatter?

Reread what you wrote there are quite a lot of problems which are so obvious at a glance it is clear you don't understand enough physics or history to understand why this "antimatter replacement" absurd. Since this site focuses on giving the knowledge to help users understand why their question is not an answerable one.

As a not so subtle hint science is based off observation and hypotheses to explain those observations leading to testable predictions. Eventually those hypotheses can build into a comprehensive theory.A quick bit of research would quickly reveal an answer to your question Look into positrons, cloud chambers and PET (Positron Electron Telmography) scans to understand the basic principals of why your idea can't be an accurate model for reality.
