Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'filled' + 'with' + 'crap' straightforwardly yields 'full of nonsense/poor-quality material.' Although 'crap' is vulgar slang, its sense is clear to a learner who knows that word and the 'filled with X' construction is common across languages, so the phrase is immediately understandable.
Etymology
Filled with crap uses a strong picture: something literally filled with crap (rubbish or animal dung), so it is messy and worthless. That's why it means 'containing nonsense or poor quality'.
