How crucial is it to transfer "records" when moving?...

So, I moved to a new state. Had been seen by a ton of specialists, and just general doc and really aside from (doing my part) staying as healthy as possible. I don't really think that my new doctors are going to find much beneficial info from having access to that data... Like, I think they're better off just retaking tests and starting from a baseline of what I am now... What are your opinions on that? My old doc had a paitent portal thats confusing how to merge that old data... even then... those documents are from only so long ago... so half of my life medical records are probably just thrown in a dumpster at some point... especially pre-adult records... does it really matter?
