No. No way to skip the story as far as I'm aware and it'd be a bad idea honestly as the story continues right from ARR to all the expansions, endwalker has a lot of callbacks to everything before it as it's a swansong of something like 8 years. Dawntrail is the first new major story arc since FFXIV's release. Leveling isn't so bad currently because it's boosted to get as many people to 90 as much as possible but there's no max level item either as far as I'm aware as you pick a class then that class becomes a specialisation so you're constantly getting new abilities to learn for your rotation. It would defeat the point of learning your specialisation if you skipped the leveling and quests of it to max level and had everything unlocked.

You can definitely skip the story and reach level cap instantly. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/tales_of_adventure/

However, you will have no idea how mechanics work, and you will frustrate both yourself and team mates. This could even get you reported as trolling in extreme cases.

Edit: it also only skips one expansion at a time, and at $11 USD per expansion, that's $44 and you STILL only get to Endwalker. No skip for that yet, although I bet there will be when Dawntrail drops. Still, why pay $55 to skip the game? That's insane.
