Legal fiction is an actual legal concept. Rather than being false, it is merely acknowledging that some things, necessary for the functioning of our societies, are “imaginary“.
The prime example is a legal person, such as a company. They do not really exist (as someone once put it, “you cannot have dinner with a legal person “), but for the sake of social usefulness, we do as if they do and can function like an actual living person could.
Does that clarify things?
