"I agree that the Daddy/Mommy stuff is not at all about actual parents, with whom each of us have very healthy relationships. For me, it means "big, strong, gentle man who takes care of me and loves me and shows me lots of affection." Daddy is a good word for it."

Makes a lot of sense to me anyway. I get why some people can't get by certain hangups with it. Maybe it has something to do with how close you were to your real parents as kids. Me, I was never very close to my family so I guess I don't get much of a creepy vibe to things.
