The premise is flawed. The LHC is looking for specific things, and it takes forever-and-a-day just to look much less decide whether the-thing-being-searched-for is there.

The premise here is that the LHC found All That Is, and it didn’t find [magical-rock-mystery-waves] so pfffttthh stupid hippies.

Until we figure out just what dark energy and dark matter is, we can't throw out there being a fifth force that the LHC isn't even designed to detect in the first place but if you think that humans are affected by things we only tend to notice on the astronomical scale, you're putting the cart way before the horse. The whole reason we can't detect them is because they don't interact with us.
