Transferring data from one iPhone to another and transferring data from one iCloud account to another are 2 different things.


You cannot merge, or migrate data from one iCloud account to another, you would need to manually download the content of the one iCloud account, and upload it into the other iCloud account.


You can however transfer content on the iPhone to a new one through a backup or using Quick Start. click here ➜ Transfer data from your previous iOS or iPadOS device to your new iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
