How to remove Filters from post admin page?

1. This is a very similar question to the one you posted here: How to HIDE everything in PUBLISH metabox except Move to Trash & PUBLISH button Please check my answer. You would simply need to add the IDs of the elements you wish to hide.

   You can traverse the DOM to target the elements you need:

   #posts-filter .tablenav select[name=m],
   #posts-filter .tablenav select[name=cat],
   #posts-filter .tablenav #post-query-submit{
       display:none;
   }

2. There is a filter for the dropdown dates since WP 3.7.0 (sorry I did not check the others but I assume they also have filters).

   The filter is: months_dropdown_results

   This example below removed the dates dropdown from the admin pages filter but not for posts.

   function remove_date_drop(){
   
   $screen = get_current_screen();
   
       if ( 'page' == $screen->post_type ){
           add_filter('months_dropdown_results', '__return_empty_array');
       }
   }
   
   add_action('admin_head', 'remove_date_drop');

3. Hiding by css also affect other post/page types. At least I was able to remove Actions for an specific cpt using this hook

   add_filter('bulk_actions-edit-mycpt', '__return_empty_array');

4. Since WordPress 4.2.0, removing the All Dates dropdown filter menu is much easier thanks to the disable_months_dropdown filter.

   To disable the dates filter menu everywhere, use the __return_true helper:

   add_filter('disable_months_dropdown', '__return_true');
   

   To disable the dates filter menu for a specific post_type, use a simple function like this:

   add_filter(
       'disable_months_dropdown',
       function ($disable, $type) {
           return $type === 'my_post_type';
       },
       10,
       2,
   );
