I guess K2 needs a batch actions button in the extra fields list... Noted down.
As for copying existing fields, the fastest route is to first create the new Extra Fields Group and then use phpMyAdmin to mark the fields you wish to copy in batches of 10 entries and then simply change the group ID and append or prepend something to each alias.
Even if you run an SQL statement to copy the fields, you'd still have to define which fields to copy, so it still remains a manual process.

It's not really hard as they are all prefix with k2_ (after the database tables prefix). The one you're interested in is #__k2_extra_fields and when you select the fields you wish to clone in phpMyAdmin, all the fields will open up for you to easily edit the alias and group ID.
