That is actually not a line. It's actually a dotted line if you look closely.

Because it’s inefficient, and there could be no beginning or end.

If anything in relative reality were perfect, it wouldn’t be perceivable.

We used to think that light travels in straight lines, till Einstein spoilt it and said that space-time is curved by gravity.

Crystals have straight edges don't they?

If you zoom way into the crystal, you’ll see all of the individual atoms which will ruin the illusion of a straight flat surface, and all of the atoms are constantly vibrating and moving.  

No straight line there.

If you zoom way into the screen, you’ll see dividing lines between the pixels, and the atoms that make up those dividing line will be constantly vibrating and moving.   Plus the screen on your phone or computer is slightly curved to some degree.  

So no, it’s not a perfectly straight line.  Nothing in relative reality can be perfect according to our conceptual ideas of perfection.   To exist at all is to be imperfect and incomplete.
 

Though of course everything in reality is ultimately perfect, but that’s only apparent when you give up all your ideas of perfection.  Those ideas are ultimately created by the ego.

A circle is just a straight line where every end is its beginning

I get it. But then we can apply that to everything not just straight lines. So why there are no curve lines in creation?  You can look at your visual field right now and view it as a bunch of straight lines vertically and horizontally... Or you can view it as a wavey curvy field.. And the two are identical.

Straight =curvy.  Curvy =straight

Creation is infinite. It includes everything.

So, straight lines, being a part of everything, are included in creation.

 My point was the concept of a perfectly straight line that we typically think of cannot exist objectively, and neither can the concept of a perfectly curved line.  Your concepts of straight and curved are just that: concepts. 

Hell, you cannot even find a completely solid “line” within reality to begin with, straight or curved.  An apparently solid “thing” like a line or any shape is only an appearance and always breaks down when investigated.

You are right, though. That duality collapses precisely in that way.

When a human draws a straight line is that not part of creation?

It's still not absolutely straight
