Why would I be using it to define a place where matter could exist? I call it space because that's what it is. It is an area of specific space. I don't see an argument requiring me to consider space only in conjunction with matter. You've only claimed that I have to.
We thought up our concepts of space, such as cubic inches. Why would we have thought them up if not to define specific amounts of matter for specific densities? Space is simply a concept invented by us to define.

This argument fails unless you can explain to me why the cause/effect requirement for objects existing applies to space as well.
Because it applies to everything else that exists.
