Can I transfer info from Home & Business 2021 to Self Employed Version 2021?

Can I transfer my tax info from Home & Business 2021 to Self Employed Version 2021? I realized that I need the Self Employed version after I already completed inputting most of my tax information into the Home and Business desktop version....is there an easy way to transfer all my tax info into the Self Employed version so I don't have to start from scratch?

No.  You can only transfer from the prior year.  What can't you enter?  Home & Business is the same as online Self Employed version.  And the Desktop programs have more features.  And you will have to pay again for online.

The Home and Business version won’t let me download from Cointracker, the crypto tax software. Any other way to do this without starting over?

Yes.  There is a work around.    What you can do is import them into an online Premier account and then download the .tax2021 file for free to open in the Desktop program. But that would involve starting a new Desktop return and starting over.
