Restore MySQL from dump: different version and CHARACTER SET - mysql

Question

I am moving data from my old database to my new one. The old DB uses:
MySQL version 5.5
CHARACTER SET utf8
I created a new database:
MySQL version 5.6
create database MY_DB; -- Same name as old DB
ALTER DATABASE MY_DB default CHARACTER SET utf8mb4;
Create some users, grant some privileges...
I want to create the db tables and add the data using a mysql dump file, but am concerned that the dump file will overwrite settings and variables that have been set in the new DB.
How do I:
Write the dump command such that any wrong / unnecessary settings and the db create statement are not included? This includes DB and table level settings.
or
Create tables and load data from the dump file, as is, and afterwards set all table and DB settings as they should be in the new DB?
These are the create statements and DB settings that I am seeing in the dump file:
/*!40101 SET #OLD_CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT=##CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT */;
/*!40101 SET #OLD_CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS=##CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS */;
/*!40101 SET #OLD_COLLATION_CONNECTION=##COLLATION_CONNECTION */;
/*!40101 SET NAMES utf8 */;
/*!40103 SET #OLD_TIME_ZONE=##TIME_ZONE */;
/*!40103 SET TIME_ZONE='+00:00' */;
/*!40014 SET #OLD_UNIQUE_CHECKS=##UNIQUE_CHECKS, UNIQUE_CHECKS=0 */;
/*!40014 SET #OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=##FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS, FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0 */;
/*!40101 SET #OLD_SQL_MODE=##SQL_MODE, SQL_MODE='NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO' */;
/*!40111 SET #OLD_SQL_NOTES=##SQL_NOTES, SQL_NOTES=0 */;
CREATE DATABASE /*!32312 IF NOT EXISTS*/ `MY_DB` /*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 */;
USE `MY_DB`;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `MY_TABLE`;
/*!40101 SET #saved_cs_client = ##character_set_client */;
/*!40101 SET character_set_client = utf8 */;
CREATE TABLE `MY_TABLE` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`name` varchar(80) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE KEY `name` (`name`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
/*!40101 SET character_set_client = #saved_cs_client */;
