Dagomon would be the equivalent to Dagon, which is comparatively a minor old one in Cthulhu mythos, the shadow is clearly Cthulhu, and not a eldritch fish god. Even if the silhouette was later made into Dagon/Dagomon, the way it's presented in the episode implies that it is the god of the fish-men, that they wish to return to. Hikari is needed as a part of a separate plan in which they want to breed with her, so they will gain the strength needed to resist the false god that is attacking them.
As for the Digital World as hell, Lucifer/Lucemon was cast out of heaven into a place beyond the light of God. In Frontier we're presented a Digital World that is merely a shell to keep Lucemon in darkness. A shell that is becoming filled with the data detritus that is spiritually important in the real world for moments and then discarded. How often have you put your whole heart into a project that didn't result in any thing? It's effectively spirit pollution.
So you get a lifeform that developed based on the data and energy gathered there. Frontier results in the whole place getting blown up, and needing to be rebuilt, but up to that point the world was a place where Lucifer was sent to suffer, until a new species popped into existence on top of him. I'm not sure if Lucifer encouraged the growth, or just abused it, but most Digimon react to any form of interaction with violence. If not for exposure their exposure to humanity, Digimon would spend most of their time fighting each other.
Partner Digimon, especially in Adventure seem to be closer to a spirit guide for each of the people who have them. We know the first eight children were part of a special project to create warriors... gah, I'm rambling.
Quick version, the previous heroes, 5 children and their digimon, are the 5 kids from Frontier, 1 ghost, and 4 digimon. Bokumon recorded the story like he said he would. Gennai and the Light were trying to recreate the previous heroes based on data from the Gerymon/Parrotmon incident, which establishes that the digital worlds are much too similar. Lucemon, Belphmon, Daemon, and the entire assortment of Demons and Devimon, are actually just Demons. Because the 'rules' of their realm has been overwritten by the Digimon, they appear as digimon because it's easiest for them to take that form. It's very briefly touched on by a number of characters, but the phenomena of objects taking on forms due to spirit influence, is the most likely reasoning behind the Digimon.
You can read into it a stab at the modern era's desire for make transitory things immensely important, then discard them a few weeks later.
Sorry for any typos, the spell check just threw up all over this one. And the rambling,
