The only matter you’ve proven to exist is your own consciousness, so that’s not saying much.
Since you’ve defined matter to be everything that exists, you must believe that whatever is the explanation for dark matter is matter, since it exists.
There are no observations of dark matter and few to none theories on how and why it exists. The only indication that it might exist is that our math doesn’t accurately predict or simulate how celestial bodies are moving, there are other theoretical explanations such as a better understanding of gravity or a larger celestial mechanism just outside of the observable universe supplying an external force.
If you stipulate we must accept Dark Matter as the one true answer then you must also accept any hypothesis regardless of evidence, which is stupid.
The effects of gravity have been observed, the cause itself has not. Prevailing hypothesis is gravitational waves which are being experimented on as we speak.

TLDR: You’re stupid.

According to what you said, gravity is matter, since gravity exists.
