You can save the data transfer step if you check "spherize" on the point to target mode. https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/2.80/modeling/meshes/editing/normals.html
>Spherize: Then each normal will be an interpolation between its original value and the direction to the target.
You can adjust the interpolation strength in the operation dialog, and also set the XYZ coordinates of the target from sliders for better control.
