The style spbasic _has_ a dot after the forname. Are you sure, that
there should be nothing?


I have no access to my computer with LyX (it does not run on macOS - 
BigSur),
so I cannot provide a LyX example, maybe later today (afternoon or evening).

But here is the LaTeX solution with your test bibdata file, which has the
dot after the forname, but this can also be changed, if really needed:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}

\usepackage[style=authoryear,maxnames=3,minnames=1]{biblatex}
\DeclareDelimFormat[bib,biblist]{nametitledelim}{\space}
\renewbibmacro*{in:}{%
%  \bibstring{in}%
%  \printunit{\intitlepunct}%
}
\addbibresource{BIBFILE-B.bib}

\usepackage{url}

\begin{document}

As \textcite{Daan1984} already wrote, is this 
ok.~\parencite[see][pp.~117--130]{Young2018}
And also see \textcite[p.~112]{McClure1966}.

\printbibliography

\end{document}

lualatex test
biber test
lualatex test
lualatex test


If you do not want to change all your \citet and \citep in your original 
document,
then use

\let\citet\textcite
\let\citep\parencite

but I would be prefer a search and replace and using the biblatex commands.
