The reason I tell you to spend a full day at Magic Kingdom and Epcot is because both parks offer more to do and they're also the most iconic Disney parks. Thus, they deserve more time than do the other two parks. Even one full day at these parks will just whet your appetite for more…. but it's a good start.
In general, you should think of Epcot as a two-day park. There's so much to see and do that you really need a couple of days to enjoy everything without feeling like you're rushing through the park. But we recognize that most people can't or won't give two of their precious days at Disney to Epcot.

Basically the above two answers tell you that in most cases we think the two parks you should visit are Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom, which is to say we think you should skip Animal Kingdom and Epcot on a two day, no hopping trip.
Hollywood Studios, like Animal Kingdom, is often considered a “half day Park,” meaning that Guests can-in theory-do everything in the Park in about half a day. In reality, you'll probably spend about half your day waiting in lines as Hollywood Studios is mostly big ticket attractions.
I would say Hollywood studios and animal kingdom, but as others have said doing Epcot and Hollywood studios on the same day make sense because they are so close together. The only problem with starting at Hollywood and ending at Epcot is it would preclude you from attempting to ride Guardians of the Galaxy.
In Disney World, the standard Park Hopper Option allows you to visit more than one theme park on the same day. This means that you can enter up to four parks on the same day, as long as you abide by the current park hopper rules.

Full day park if you want to do everything & savor it. With good crowds, and doing almost everything, Animal Kingdom is like a 85% of your day park. Magic Kingdom is like a day and a half park.
