Simplify polygon features based on topology

Hello, I have a geodatabase with 3 different feature classes that are related with each other, I have a lots layer, a construction layer, and then a floor layer, more often than not, all of these are topologically related, in the sense that they share the same nodes and arcs. I can see this clearly when I just turn on the topology on my map and see that indeed the nodes and arcs of those 3 connect smoothly. However more often than not the information comes with a lot of unnecessary vertices in-between said nodes. What I'm doing right now is manually removing each intermediate vertices using the edit edges (edit vertices but for topology) and selecting manually each line to delete the extras.

This is not very efficient at all but I'm not sure how I can simplify it, I thought about using the simplify tool but that then leaves for example my terrain without the vertices from the construction polygon, and I'm creating another feature class which isn't ideal really.

 

Any way to quickly get rid of those midway vertices in an efficient manner?

Thank you in advanced for your help

Perhaps the align topological edge tool would make the process easier.
