Surface creating strange mesh

I've built a 2D geometry to use for asymmetric wind tunnel testing but I'm getting weird meshes. I started with a series of points (about 300+) that I connected using a polyline. I then converted the 2D polyline into a region (REGION), and then converted it to a surface (CONVTOSURFACE). I then use the Mesh dialog (set to mostly quad) to create a mesh. I'm getting a strange mesh. I'm expecting perpendicular straight lines, but I'm getting slanted lines in all directions. Am I missing something? Did I build my model from points incorrectly? I'm using Windows 10, Student Edition of Autodesk Autocad 2022.
*Note: the final geometry has to be a surface/solid so I can export it to Ansys. Polylines produce wireframes, even when hatch/filled.
TIA.
