Dark matter and dark energy is called dark because we literally know nothing about it. It's like a place-holder moniker until we can observe the phenomenon.

We have a better idea of what Hawking radiation is because its effects have been observed and measured.

Unless there's some news, I missed I don't think we've measured Hawking Radiation (certainly not from a black hole). However, it is well defined mathematically and appears independently through several different approaches. I don't think anyone credible is disputing hawking radiation regardless.

It's still theoretical but that theory came from observation. The result of these effects is what we call Hawking radiation.
