Does Biden have the “most progressive record” of any candidate that is running for 2020 Dem primary?

No.

On LGBTQ rights:

Biden supported same-sex marriage only in 2012.

Bernie was defending gay members of the military way back in 1995 during a House debate.
On the 1994 Crime Bill:

Biden vigorously supported it when he was in the Senate.

Bernie also voted for the bill but it is because of the inclusion of the Violence Against Women Act. If said Act was not included, Bernie would have absolutely voted against the Crime Bill.
On Iraq War:

Biden voted in favor of the Iraq War.

Bernie voted against the Iraq War and laid down what would be the consequences for America & for Iraq after Saddam Hussein was removed from power.
On the Patriot Act:

Biden bragged about writing the Patriot Act and voted for it.

Bernie voted against it and said that there are other ways to fight terrorism without undermining civil liberties.
On deregulating big banks:

Biden is in favor of deregulating big banks.

Bernie is against deregulating big banks and he wants to break up the big banks.
On the billionaire class:

Biden said that the guys at the top are “not bad guys.”

Bernie is taking on the billionaire class and calls out their greed & their influence over our economic and political life.
Conclusion:

Bernie is the most progressive candidate in the race & has been on the right side of history on these issues.

Biden has no progressive record at all.

If you want to vote for a progressive candidate, you should vote for Bernie Sanders.
