If all solutions were equal, and there was a good way to check if something is actually a valid solution, then I feel like the question about biases is not all that meaningful.
I am trying to come up with the best solution, not just the first one that pops into my head that works.

That is rather hard, because in the general case you need to conduct an exhaustive search of the solution space. “The best” is an absolute—there’s only one.
Most of the time people are satisfied with “good enough” solutions.
