Shutting down the dark net is litterally the same thing as making sites that arent listed by search engines illegal... Granting complete control of the data on the internet to corperations. Which have backdoors the govt has uncontested access to. Bad idea.
Freedom to communicate electronically is 50% of what makes the internet empowering, and encryption is the other half. If they take either of those, the internet becomes about as useful as facebook.

No, that's precisely the idea.

You're thinking of the "deep web". Dak Web is TOR and the like.

Ive always heard the two terms used interchangeably, but you could be right.
