Your advice to a newbie, like I’d just declared myself to be, was "You don’t need those id's, delete them". It wasn't "Check that they’re unused, maybe you've a pagelist, maybe you've got an index; look out for this and that". What if I didn’t know, as a newbie using InDesign generated code and asking for help about it, that an index uses the id's? You want me, the newbie, to check and understand the code just so that you can then give me the expertly advice "delete the unused ids"? How about, if you're not really willing to truly help, just abstain?
Then with the double id's you told me to delete one of them because the page slows down etc. (15 year old behaviour on an old Sony reader). Yes, the code would be cleaner, but it takes more time to delete the double ids and fix the TOC reference, with zero consequence on performance vs. the time it took to generate them (no time at all, since it came out of InDesign like that).
All in all, just bad or incomplete advice.
