Those Apollo missions were unmanned hardware test flights, and often fall under different designations. Apollo 2 is actually named AS-201 and Apollo 3 is AS-202.

The Apollo program aimed to land humans on the Moon and return them safely to Earth, which was accomplished with Apollo 11. There were plans for Apollo 2 and 3, but they were canceled to focus on perfecting the technology and techniques needed for landing on the Moon. Skipping directly to Apollo 4 allowed NASA to begin testing the hardware for the lunar missions.
