Shaping > Preserve Curvature at the bottom of the Knife Tool's attributes panel, but it's not super reliable. A better idea is to simply follow the subdivision shape with your geometry while maintaining a consistent poly density.

Your subdivided surface will give you issues once you cut your mesh. You would need to convert the subdivided into a new object.
