Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't.

In the Euclidean plane. a straight line is the shortest distance between two points. Also, the equation of a straight line is simpler than that of curved lines.

Finally, there is the Occam Rule which can be put as follows: when there are lots of possibilities to choose from, go for the simplest one. There are infinitely many curves (including a straight line) that can go through a pair of points.
