My 2016 MacBook Pro 15" died so I bought a new (2020) MacBook Pro 13", w/four thunderbolt USBc ports.

Is it safe to use the 87 watt power adapter and cord from my 2016 MacBook Pro 15" with my new MacBook Pro 13" (2020)?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Yes.

Your laptop will only draw as much power as it needs.

IIRC the 2020 model uses a larger power adapter so it may end up draining your battery to compensate for the smaller charger.
