Apps are not directly transferred between devices. For Apps, the transfer process creates a record of the Apps that are installed on the donor iPad - and it is this record of installed Apps that is transferred to the target device. Assuming that you have used the same AppleID, for Apps that are still available for download from the App Store, the corresponding Apps are automatically downloaded and installed from the App Store.
Not all Apps will, necessarily, continue to be available. Apps may have been removed or retired from the App Store by the respective App Developer. Some Apps may have been abandoned - and may not be compatible with the new device. Where a compatible App is not available, you’ll not be able to transfer/install the App.
Kindle (requires iPadOS 14.0 or later) and Facebook (requires iPadOS 13.4 or later) are definitely supported and available for your iPad running iPadOS 16.x. If for some reason they have not “transferred” to your new iPad, they can be easily installed from the Apple App Store.
If you click App Store and then click on your portrait and click on my purchases and not on this iPad you can get all apps ever connected to your appleid
