If space was a vacuum then what do they mean by dark energy and Energy density of the vacuum of the Universe which show up in the cosmo constant of Einstein??

No Einstein should that Aether does not exist.

In other words Einstein showed that if an Aether existed it would have the exact same properties as a vacuum. Thus because there would be no way to distinguish Aether from a vacuum, it is pointless to introduce the idea of an Aether.
