I need to create functionality, which removes all active workflow instances but only for specified workflow definition.

For instance, document may be a part of many diffrent workflows, e.g.  "New Task", "Review and Approve" and so on. More, there may be lot of instances of each workflows active at the same time. I'd like to remove all instances  of  "Review and Approve" workflow but left "New Task" still active.

You can create a webscript and check whether the workflows which are running on particular node.

private static final String[] ENABLE_WORKFLOW_LIST = {"New Task"};

List<WorkflowInstance> workflowInstanceList = workflowService.getWorkflowsForContent(nodeRef, true);
for (WorkflowInstance workflowInstance : workflowInstanceList) {

       //Make check for workflow something like below
       if (!Arrays.asList(WORKFLOW_LIST).contains(workflowInstance.getDefinition().getTitle())) {
   //Perform the action which you want to do
       }
}

If you dont know how to create webscript you can refer below link for more details.
