You can use same polyline to trim new pointscloud generated by sampling poission mesh
If you need more control of hole (gap) closing , Blender can help a lot
please check attached bin CC file

Meshing by simple Delaunay (best fitting plane) is possible too
(meshing, sampling ,segmenting then merging into original pointscloud)
