TUN-DXB, DXB-BKK and BKK-SYD are all showing D available and the first and last segment are showing Z available (DXB-BKK is a 2 class). I was hoping to cancel my miles, purchase D and then upgrade with miles to F. However I have called and the agent says they can only price me a business flex outbound?

J is wide open on all the flights so chances of an Op-up is 0.

Any suggestions?

You can’t buy D, it’s an award / upgrade bucket.
The lowest business bucket you can buy is O, known as J Saver. That (assuming it is available, which on most routes is not often the case), can be upgraded with miles (assuming Z is available). There is also P, but this is the bucket used for online or OLCI upgrade offers to business class and also is not ‘sold’ normally
