<link rel='shortlink'... 

section from a specific page. Adding a filter to the wp_shortlink_wp_head will work fine? I am not sure whether i can add filter to the function just like that...

Replace 2 for ID of your page. Insert into your functions.php

if ( is_page(2) ){
   remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_shortlink_wp_head', 10, 0 );
}

Answer 2

Talk about resurrecting an old question....

I had to do this recently with WordPress 4.5.3 and it didn't work at all. To make it work, I needed to wrap up the if statement in a function called by wp_head - like so:

function remove_shortlink() {
    if( is_page(2) ) {
        remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_shortlink_wp_head', 10, 0 );
    }
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'remove_shortlink', 1 );

Replace '2' with the ID of your page. Add this to your theme's functions.php or in a plugin
