Which is exactly why there's such a strong instinct to increase birth rates to replace those dead.

No, high birth rates cause deaths tribal societies because they rely on the resorces avaliable in their environment and can't make more. Fertility is a negative in those cultures. They do all sorts of things from extended breast-feeding to infanticide to keep the population down.
Fertility was only celebrated once farming came along because every child was a free labourer. It isn't human instinct to increase the population, that's culture. You can see instinct play out on people's choices in the free-est places, they have 2-3 kids to replace themselves.

Our society is very much built for the farmer-minded. Those who think differently not only struggle, but are considered horrible people.
