Old Canon lenses - worth impacting Mirrorless decision?

Hi All - I use my camera mostly when traveling, but occasionally just walking around, for birds and for landscapes.  My Pentax K-50 has the aperture block problem, so looking for a new camera.

I am considering a Canon M6ii, Canon RP or Nikon Z50.  The Nikon is attractive with the two lens combination/kit.  But I started with Canon many years ago with the AE-1, and feel some loyalty.

The question I have is, are my two old Canon lenses worth considering in making this decision?  I have a Canon EF 28-135 3.5-5.6 IS and a Sigma (Canon mount) 70-300 4-5.6 Macro Super.  I'm not knowledgeable enough to understand if this glass would work well with the M6ii or RP (with the adapter of course) - or would they bring little to the table?  If the existing Canon lenses would have little value with these modern mirrorless cameras, then I will just evaluate the Canons & Nikon on their own merits.  Thanks for any guidance you can give.

Bob
