Default brake line bends

ok so ive been thinking about redoing my brake lins to make my bay look alot cleaner.. i brought this idea up to my buddy and he stated "the bends in the brake lines are there to make the proper pressure" i can see that being true.. but i just want to make sure that redoing my brake lines wont hurt the brakes causing them to fail doing 50 and me ending up in some old ladys a$$

No (unless you kink the line or something). Theres no pressure in the lines until you apply the brakes. The brakes work off of hydraulic pressure so it wouldn't matter if your lines are longer or shorter since you can't compress the brakefluid, you will still displace the same amount fluid at the calipers/ wheel cylinders.
