Equal interior angles are additionally required to distinguish it from a rhombus

A point has no angles. What geometry are you talking about?

Why, the angle formed by the four zero-length sides of my square, of course. (I could, for example, define them in terms of unit vectors, with zero length, and the scalar product of adjacent zero-length sides is zero; hence the sides are orthogonal.)
