That's your problem: pg_dump is a logical backup. All the WAL records are
now completely invalid.

If you want PITR, read
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/continuous-archiving.html *and then
use a dedicated PITR program*.like (alphabetically) barman or pgbackrest.

I like pgbackrest. It's always worked for me, and the developers respond
quickly to issues raised on github. Stephen also monitors this list.
