Setting up a new MacBook

You can use the Migration Assistant, to choose which data you want to transfer from your old to your new MacBook.

Have a look at this related article:

Transfer to a new Mac with Migration Assistant - Apple Support

Tone specific, Migration Assistant will give you the options to transfer (1) your old computer's settings and Preferences, which I would recommend, (2) all or none of your old computer's files, and allow none of your old computer's apps. Some people here recommend doing a clean installation of the apps n the new computer rather than transferring them. You will have to manually select and transfer the files you wish to keep. You could use a flash drive for that.
