I don't have any friends vs I don't have any friend

Both of these phrases are correct, but they're used in different contexts. 'I don't have any friends' is the more common, natural way to express the idea that someone doesn't have companions. On the other hand, 'I don't have any friend' can be used in a more formal or poetic context, but it's less common in everyday conversation.
