LH may allow you to thru check but note that you will not get priority baggage handling from AF because you don't have the AF priority tags. It may even come out last!
Best if you just collect your bags and take them to T2 yourself.
IMO changing terminals at CDG is enough of a hassle without luggage involved.
Unless getting the bag early at LAX is truly important, definitely try to have it checked through all the way and go directly to the lounge at CDG.
