I really would like to have a figure like this one:
But all I got is this one:
Why my opacity didn't work?
Whit a file TEX with all the coordinates, do you know something that could plot in a good way these 2D functions over time?
Here is my TEX code.

I am using TeXLive 2016, and I think I got exactly the opacity you wanted with your code:
This works with pdfLaTeX and LuaLaTeX. Please consider adding a full MWE with
\documentclass
and all packages necessary, see What makes a good MWE?.As alpenwasser noted, transparency might be a problem for some viewers, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Document_Format#Transparency.
The post Plotting several 2d functions in a 3d graph seems related.
