Does anyone know, how can I get rid of these split line which is produced by joined surfaces. (see pic)

Turn on Simplify the result in the join menu. If the trim surfaces are from the same slab it might remove it. You can switch view modes to Shading with edges without smooth edges.
 
Actually, I am not interested in visual commands.
For example, if I try to use extract command, that surface seems two parts. I need it only one surface.
 
Try Federating the surface then. You do this under the Join command (and yes, you create a Join with just a single surface). When you do this the surface will act as a single unit, rather than as multiple faces.
 
Thanks Jim for your (always) good information.

When you actually want to merge 2 surfaces as one. you need FSS and use the Concatenate function. It might need some preparation but it works.

But Concatenate will not work with trimmed surfaces like your case.

Hi there,

when you do a join of these surface use the
"Simplfy the result" &
"Ignore erroneous elements"

this will create a single domain surface.

but this doesnt work well for complex surface. for the simple cases it will pass.
