And made the night as clothingوَجَعَلْنَا اللَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا
[An-Naba 78:10]
, is there an indication that the default is the day? Because the night is a garment, and a garment is taken off?

No, it is not that the default is the day; each of them is the default, each of them is the default, and Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) alternates between them
