Parseq-8 is pretty good for this, you'd use it in hold mode, set each step to modulate the volume of the layer up and control which layer is selected via the phase control.
If you specifically want one button for going sequentially through the layers then you'd need the grid as there is no modulator that works like a momentary button. The idea would be to have a trigger module into a phase counter, into a merge set to linear (counter and merge should have the same number of steps). Then you can add audio receivers to each merge input and midi map the trigger module to a keyboard/midi button via the mapping panel.
The downside here is that you can't put the trigger module as a device remote control in bitwig, so you'd need to either open grid to change it or just use the midi mapped button. The other problem here is I think it would be a challenge to have a second button for cycling the other direction - maybe there is a clever way by manipulating phase to achieve this, although having a button for resetting to the first layer would be easy via the counter reset input.
