Ideally no paint as buying an entire bucket if white paint for a white print seems wasteful.
Is there any sort of filler I could use to hide the seams between the parts I have glued together?

PLA
I was going to suggest solvent welding, unfortunately PLA's solvent is extremely toxic. Were this ABS or ASA you could mix acetone and some raw fillament to get this gloop-like mixture. Fill the gap, let it dry and you have a solid bond as strong as if it was printed in one piece. Can also be used as a glue and is just as strong.
