You might like to consider using a for loop:

for dirname in ls -d *; do mv $dirname/filename destination/$dirname; done

This is a rough attempt using some assumptions.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
set -x

cd /tmp
mkdir MOD13A2.A2000049.h23v03.005.dir
mkdir MOD13A2.A2000065.h23v03.005.dir
mkdir MOD13A2.A2000081.h23v03.005.dir
touch MOD13A2.A2000049.h23v03.005.dir/1_km_16_days_EVI_s2_01200_01200.img
touch MOD13A2.A2000065.h23v03.005.dir/1_km_16_days_EVI_s2_01200_01200.img
touch MOD13A2.A2000081.h23v03.005.dir/1_km_16_days_EVI_s2_01200_01200.img

for dirname in *.dir
do
  dirname_prefix=$(echo $dirname | cut -f1-4 -d.)
  cd /tmp/$dirname
  imagename=$(ls -1 *.img|head -1)
  mv $imagename ../${dirname_prefix}.img
done

You won't need most of this script - it creates test data at the start of the script so it has something to work with.

It uses a for loop, as suggested by bakdong, and also "cut" to remove the .dir suffix (which I assumed were really there and not just something to tell us they were directory names). It then looks for image files in that dir, and grabs the first one (as you indicate, there should only be one).

Error handling is absent
