You could use the built-in functionality in Finder to rename sequentially files. Please see section "Rename multiple items", specifically the Format item: Rename files, folders, and disks on Mac - Apple Support.
Note that Finder uses a 5-digit format that cannot be changed, i.e. you cannot choose a 2-digit format.

Did you first have Automator sort the selected items before renaming them? I just tested the workflow & it keep the numerical order for me. Tested with macOS 26.1 Tahoe.
