There is a new Rebuild command in the Dec-19 v2 beta which will do that.

But there is no icon button for it yet, in order to launch it you need to set it up on a keyboard shortcut, or launch it by typing in the command name (push the Tab key first, then type Rebuild, then Enter).

No, it's not necessary for curves to have the exact same number of points, for Lofting or stuff like that - not in Rhino either actually.

If you want to get a more simplified Loft result, there is a kind of rebuilding and simplification function already built directly into Loft though, it's the "Profiles" option. For example if you set it to Profiles: # Points, you can choose how many points to use in the Lofted result to get a more simple surface.
