First off all update your iPhone to iOS 15.2 and macOS Big Sur to 11.6.2 , if you are logged in with the same iCloud account on your Mac and iPhone you don’t need to transfer your photos because it will automatically download to your Mac just make sure if your iCloud photos on photos app in your Mac is enable as in your iPhone, optimize iPhone storage and optimize Mac storage must be selected , in your Mac leave the photos app running in background, it takes tule that to all your photos gets downloads to the Mac
