Filtering by IC unavailable will only show parts:
-that are set to a manual package type, or
-if the weight is missing (if set to weight bound), or
-if any of the dimensions are missing (if set to volume bound).

and Adjustments" section for my main shipping option, I have a Max Dimension
of "2cm" showing for the middle "(h)" field.

This dimension is used to calculate the max volume of a package.
To complicate your search, looking at just the height of a part to see if it's
more than 2 cm will not give you what you want. You need to exclude any part
where any of the three dimensions is less than 2 cm.
For example, a 1x6x5 panel will show in your search as it is more than 2 cm in
height. but the system realizes the panel can lie down. In other words, it looks
at the smallest of the dimension fields to determine "volume" height.
To complicate things, the dimensions listed in the inventory don't follow
the package restriction dimensions of w x h x d.
Parts follow d x w x h:
DimX = Depth (shortest of the two horizontal dimensions)
DimY = Width (longest of the two horizontal dimensions)
DimZ = Height (vertical dimension)
Minifigures and sets use w x h x d (as if it is standing up)
DimX = Width
DimY = Height
DimZ = Depth

Is there any other way of adding in the height restriction to this shipping option,
to align with what you proposed?

I have the following set for package restrictions for my lettermail shipping
method:
37 cm(w) x 1.85 cm(h) x 26 cm(d)
I use slightly smaller dimensions than allowed by Canada Post to account for
packaging.
I only add a remark if the part is close to the max thickness allowed with lettermail.
----------------------------------
With regards to Packing Type setting: Weight Bound should be used for parts that
are approximately 2 x 2 x 2 cm and smaller.
From Admin Russell: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1342842
One aspect of the system that is not widely known or understood is the effect
of packing dimensions on weight bound items - these are small parts. Even though
an item is weight bound and will not cause a direct issue with size, when the
volume calculation is performed at the end of the process, packing dimensions
are used to calculate the total liquid dimension (volume). Small parts containing
a lot of empty space may trigger a volume issue even though the weight was within
the limits.
