If i understand correctly, those are just stringers . .. they keep the walls from spaying out. There are various truss config's to give a higher ceiling. ...maybe check those out.
Generally engineers like to maximize structures. ..if you move the stringers up, the structural rigidity will no longer be maximized. . . .but probably not terrible either.
