You can use Highcharts' internal function called firePointEvent for this:

var chart = Highcharts.chart('container', {

  series: [{
    type: 'column',
    data: [1],
    point: {
        events: {
        click: function() {
            console.log('Click event fired');
        }
      }
    }
  }]
});

chart.series[0].points[0].firePointEvent('click');
