    You can use the reverse match of looking for headlines that match ID. From the manual

    A search string can use Boolean operators ‘&’ for AND and ‘|’ for OR.
    ‘&’ binds more strongly than ‘|’. Parentheses are currently not
    implemented. Each element in the search is either a tag, a regular
    expression matching tags, or an expression like PROPERTY OPERATOR
    VALUE with a comparison operator, accessing a property value. Each
    element may be preceded by ‘-’, to select against it, and ‘+’ is
    syntactic sugar for positive selection. The AND operator ‘&’ is
    optional when ‘+’ or ‘-’ is present. Here are some examples, using
    only tags.

    Using the same query as in your question Matching property in agenda view, you simply negate the search and it will provide all lines that do not match on ID.

    (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
           '(("c" "MY Agenda"
          ((tags "-ID={.+}")))))
