There refers to position, so if you say there is my friend, you’re just saying he is in a certain spot away from you.
If you say that’s my friend, you’re just stating that that particular person is your friend. It has nothing to do with position.

There’s my friend might also have the connotation that your friend has just entered the room, or you’ve just spotted her somehow.
