Trump also ordered the Pentagon, against Mattis’s recommendation, to come up with a plan to withdraw approximately half of the American troops deployed to Afghanistan, a move that military officials have warned could plunge the nation into chaos.

Mattis even resigned due to not being able to comply with Trump's idiotic plans.

I guess it's possible that Biden could have just scrapped the whole plan and do something else. But most of the damage was already done by then.
