I know that the best game for this age is the one that doesn't require a computer, but I wanna search for some possible games for spend a few minutes with my daughter on my retro computer.
Any recommendations?

putt-putt goes to the moon, think i was about 8 when i first played it, and finished it in one sitting i really enjoyed it, tried it recently 30 years on and i couldn't figure it out.🤣
also look into the "living books" games, the tortoise and the hare is one i played as a 7yo in a local computer shop back in 93 on an old tandy pc, prob where i got my love for point and click games.
There are always the classics of edutainment. Bath Blaster and Reader Rabbit. I forget how young they skew though, they might still be too advanced for 4-6.

Toddle around thrift stores and you can often find the CDs of the old Edutainment games from the 90's and early 2000's and you can easily find ISOs of them on the abandonware sites. At that age, you probably want to try the Mario Education games, the early age MECC stuff like Number Munchers, and the JumpStart games.

No child should grow up not having played Commander Keen.
Or a text based adventure. Black Cauldron is good (although hard for a kid focused game).
Maybe Jill of the Jungle?
My daughter had fun with 'Richard Scarry's Busytown'. Simple point-and-click edutainment game.
