Retopologize should retain or create UV mapping, it currently wipes out any UV mapping.

Retopologize removes the UVs because it makes a fully new mesh so it can't preserve UV. You need to make new UVs for the new mesh.

Thanks for your answer.

I believe the tool could make an attempt, or include some options. For example if you retopologize a default cube, the UVs could attempt to project the T shaped UVs in the process based on the original UVs. This might lead to a tool where UVS from different objects can transfer onto each other.

You can transfer Uv's from original model to a newone.
