Interesting thoughts, thanks for sharing.
Each triad on the tree of life is a more and more distorted reflection of Ohr Ein Sof. Essentially it just keeps reflecting itself and reflecting itself and reflecting itself till it finally reaches the twilight of consciousness and can't distort itself anymore (red ray/malkuth).
I would say Binah is the mother that becomes pregnant with the seed of Chokmah's infinite light. The mothers body does nurture the child and give it form, but it is born out of Daath. Daath is kind of like the birth canal of the metaphysical cosmos. So Binah and Daath both play a pretty substantial "form making" role. So it is kind of like the "gate keeper" of allowing forms into our world. This may be why some consider Daath to be part of Binah, though I don't necessarily agree with lumping them in exactly the same category. There is a lot of dogma in Kabbalistic/Qabalistic ideology.
