Is there a way to get a new certificate with an updated date without re testing?

No, the date is the date you passed the exam and earned the certification.

Fundamentals certifications do not expire, but Microsoft can retire them like MS-900 & AI-900.

No. Fundamentals certifications do not expire and do not need renewal, so there is no renewal path to generate a newly dated certificate.

For certification records when exam versions change, the certification itself remains the same and is not reissued with a new earned date. That means Microsoft Certified: Azure Data Fundamentals and Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals remain the same certifications rather than being replaced with newly dated versions.
