I am wondering if 40 miles per day is a decent goal for two recreational bikers who plan to camp along the trail (we are 59/63 years old). We are very outdoorsy and camp alot but this is our first camp bike trip!

Yes. Forty miles per day on the GAP and C&O is indeed a reasonable goal especially if you ride frequently. If not, you would be smart to take a couple of day rides of that distance to gauge your preparedness. That said you may have to ride even further a couple of times to accommodate your itinerary especially on the GAP where the campgrounds are not as frequent as the hiker/biker campsites on the C&O.
