I have a Maytag Bravos MVWB750WQ and just ran into an issue with it not completely pumping out. As I had to look up where the drain pump was, because I figured that had to be the issue, I discovered there is a filter, under the drum, directly connected to the drain pump but not removable with the drain pump.
Long story short, I discover a pair of my wife's panties half sticking out of the drain hole for the drain pump, and while it was way to late for the drain pump since it had been running for sometime without moving the water out, I managed to pull them out with quite a bit of force and a pair of pliers.
These panties seem to been half lodged in a filter I saw on a parts list for the drum for the same washer. It's not like a typical filter like you might imagine. From what I could tell through the dull clear plastic it looked like a series of plastic fins that alternated opening for water to pass. It didn't look like it was meant to filter lint, more like something more solid and/or larger to keep it from getting in the pump and jamming it up.
My thought for you people with lint problems with this machine is maybe you have some what the same problem I did. A pair of panties, a sock, something fairly flimsy has got caught in the same area and has acted like a lint trap. It hasn't reached the pump, yet, like mine did so it keeps releasing some of the lint it traps back into the wash. The circulating pump draws the water from the drum through the same area, so if something is stuck there acting as a trap, this is probably the culprit.
There are all kinds of youtube videos on how to tear these machines down, they are really fairly simple.
Good luck all.

Because there is no lint filter, my drain pipe overflows to the floor. The lint is clogging my drain pipe.

What is the model number of the washer?
Excessive lint could be caused by using too much detergent. Use the amount recommended by the washer manufacturer (see the owner manual) and not the detergent manufacturer, as they just want to sell detergent
