Transfering photos from Google Photos to iCloud

I have recently switched from Android to iPhone and am attempting to transfer my photos to iCloud. When using Google Photos Takeout, I get two files for each motion photo (one JPG and one MP4). However, Apple Photos does not recognize these as Live Photos. Is there a solution to address this issue for thousands of pictures (programmatically), considering manual adjustment is not feasible?

Will iCloud Photos automatically import photos/video taken from my iPhone to my to the photo library on my iMac? With My Photo Stream (MPS) being discontinued, how do I replicate the MPS feature which automatically imported photos taken from my various Apple devices, in particular my iPhone, to my iMac? I'm strictly interested in continued import into my iMac based library, not uploading the existing contents of my very large Photos library, to iCloud Photos. MPS was such a convenient and reliable way to ensure my iMac synced with the photos I was taking with my iPhone.
