I am trying to stream a 4K movie from my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) to an Apple TV 4K, connected to a 4K tv.
If I check in System Preferences -> Display, I see that under Apple TV Resolution -> Scaled the best option is 1080p.
My Apple TV Resolution setting is set on 4K 60fps, so why I don't see 4K resolution option? Am I missing something? Maybe Airplay does not support 4K mirroring?

AirPlay 2 added new audio capabilities (multiple speakers), but the video specs are the same as original AirPlay.

Resolution isn’t mentioned, but user reports note that such is the limit currently.

Thank you. Where did you find these specs? Is it the same with Airplay 2?
AirPlay Screen Mirroring is indeed limited to 1920×1080.
‘Basic’ AirPlay (non-mirroring) from iTunes or QuickTime Player should send through the source file as-is, if it is compatible (on both devices).
