Yes, any skills that become obsolete will be automatically upgraded on your hotbar, so your final hotbar at 70, while it will play a lot differently, will use most of the skills (probably not medica) you have gathered thus far.

You definitely want to keep Medica handy, if the party needs AOE healing and Medica II is already ticking it's your go-to way of topping people off if they aren't stacked for Cure III. I personally find Cure I becomes obsolete as soon as Cure II is available, the amount of HP it heals is negligible to waste a GCD on. Repose and Fluid Aura are also generally useless at higher levels.
