I have attached screenshot.. there is only one difference white color removed.
Right one transparent, left one still with white bg.

It's caused by anti-aliasing.
The white elements were probably on top of the black ones. Anti-aliasing makes them appear larger.
If the gaps are getting that narrow then they are probably too small for printing.

You can use Effect > Path > Offset path and use a negative value. Afterwards expand appearance.
Since it's actually only those inside lines that need to be fatter, you could use a more elaborate proces and first cut those lines out of the white objects that you deleted, then offset path and then subtract them from the black elements.
