My Canon EOS 7D Mark II does not show shutter speed options between 1/2000 and 1/3000, or between 1/3000 and 1/4000. I expected to see speeds like 1/2500 and 1/3200. Is there a setting that controls this, and how do I enable those intermediate shutter speeds?

Your 7D Mark II's C.Fn1: exposure level increments is set to 1/2 EV, rather than the more common (default) setting of 1/3 EV. All you have to do is change this setting to 1/3.
Be aware, this setting also affects aperture, exposure compensation, flash exposure compensation, and auto exposure bracketing. Basically, everything except your ISO increments, which is controlled by the ISO speed setting increments just below it.

Yes. Your camera is likely set to 1/2 EV exposure increments instead of 1/3 EV. In 1/2-stop mode, some intermediate shutter speeds such as 1/2500 and 1/3200 are not shown.
Change the camera’s Exposure level increments setting to 1/3 EV in the custom functions/menu, and those shutter speed values should appear.
Note that this setting also affects other exposure controls, including:
- aperture increments
- exposure compensation
- flash exposure compensation
- auto exposure bracketing
ISO step size is usually controlled by a separate ISO increment setting.
