There can be some two points shapes in file which have fill and do not have stroke (outline). It is a tiny lines which hardly visible as well as hard to detect if they are placed on edges of other objects. How to find such shapes? For example, a shape when someone used Line Segment Tool with applied fill and no stroke.

I don't know if I understand you correctly. This will select paths with two points, a fill and no stroke.

app.selection = null;
var paths = app.activeDocument.pathItems;
for (var i = 0; i < paths.length; i++) {
    if (paths[i].pathPoints.length == 2
        && paths[i].filled == true
        && paths[i].stroked == false) {
        paths[i].selected = true;
    }
}

If they all the same unique color, find one, then use select → same fill...

Can't be that easy though right?

not shure, there can be a lot of objects with the same color and you may do not know where to find such shapes

"Find same appearance" does not limit selection to "2-point" shapes. The script @femkeblanco shared DOES!
