How can I avoid paying taxes upon my total withdrawl of funds,RMD, before age 73 other than just donating it to charity? (i.e. alternatively transfering funds to another fund (Roth IRA, Savings Bonds, ect)

You must add all withdrawals to your ordinary income. Period. And pay taxes. Period.
Then if you have earned income, you might consider a tax-deductible IRA contribution — which can be made from the funds you withdraw.
