The problem is with such a view as the one you give above (that contradicts the Buddha's teachings, FWIW) is that if a person who wished to be consistent in their beliefs and who believed that future lives are imaginary because all conditioned things are not-self would also have to believe that the life you have tomorrow after waking up in the morning is also imaginary.
May all beings, in or out of the womb, be well, happy and peaceful.
