If it is dead and won’t power on, and you have no existing iCloud nor iTunes backup, then there is no data saved anywhere to transfer to the new device. You cannot restore a backup that does not exists. And you cannot create a backup from a device that is dead.
As is always the case, backups need to be made, and kept up to date, before a device dies. After it dies, you’re just plain out of luck.
