Without looking at what you have, I would suggest giving Jekyll a look. It's not a CMS in the colloquial sense, it's a static site generator. You use it to build out templates, then create content for those templates. Then, you run a build process and push it up to your server.

Moving to any CMS is going to be a lot of work in the short run for a site that size, but the benefit will be huge in the long term. AFAIK, there's no tool out there that will convert everything for you automatically, though it is possible to create one if you have some programming experience.

Hi,

This may not be useful for your case anymore, but for some other users with the same issue I'm sure will be handy.

I suggest taking a look at Exai (Exai Web Builder | Build Your Website). This CMS allows you to transfer your website, either it is totally HTML or is created in any other CMS, you can get exactly the same look of the website. Whilst your website is transfering you still can use your old website. The guys at Exai are very helpful, they fixed my website in 2 days.

Very usefull and I found this when I was looking a CMS to recreate an existing website, so this was even better. It keeps the SEO too.

Hope this helps!
