Sorry, no there isn't any automated way to take a radial arrangement of curves and move them along a straight line path.

It's still not very clear to me exactly what you are trying to do. Could you possibly give some more details on your equipment and your overall plan of how you want to produce your finished design?

Note that the surface that you are generating with the "straight line" arrangement is not identical to the original 3D surface - the distances between different peaks and valleys in your shapes is different in the "straight" one versus the 3D one, that produces different shaping when you loft a surface through the straight one for example.

So there is a kind of distortion happening with the method that you are using here, it is not actually a directly "unwrapped" version of the other surface.
