But why were the primals sealed? Who did it? Did Midgardsomr just randomly decide to seal all primals, including it's own tribe god (Bahamut)?

You know, the theory that each era was caused by a Primal may not be so far fetched. They are considered gods by their beast tribes and at no point any primal is mentioned as being "stronger" than other. Maybe each time one of the primals went apeshit crazy. Oh well, who knows.
