I agree that there is a level of privacy that everyone needs, but that the idea of telling each other everything, in and of itself isn't silly in my mind but then it's also pretty subjective. Depends on the couple, but I think more importantly than the level of privacy needed is that they communicate, understand and agree on this.
I also agree that making it so it doesn't seem like you're hiding something from them is a good idea. But again, communicating about privacy needs is still something that should be done in addition to that. NO one can know exactly how you feel about privacy, that it's not anything you're doing, it's just your need to be private unless you tell them that.
