"Should" isn't the right word. -ivreg2- implements single-equation linear IV. It doesn't do what you want, but that doesn't mean it should!

It sounds like you would ideally like an overidentification test for the system estimated by -cdsimeq-, testing all the identifying restrictions used in the 2 equations.
Maybe you can do that by hand, but I'm not aware of any user-written commands that will do it.
The second-best alternative is overid tests for the two equations separately.
-overid-, downloadable from ssc-ideas in the usual way, will report an overidentification statistic after an -ivprobit- estimation. This gives you an overid test for dependent variable D and continuous endogenous regressor C.
The equation with the continuous variable C as the dependent variable, and D as the endogenous regressor, is trickier. You can estimate this with -ivreg2-, as you suggest, and it will give you a Sargan-Hansen statistic for this estimation. But the test applies to the -ivreg2- estimation, and not to the what -cdsimeq- does. My understanding is that -cdsimeq- uses an additional identifying restriction, namely the nonlinearity (dichotomous nature of D) in the first stage. Maybe you can program an overid test statistic that uses this additional identifying restriction. But if you want to refer to the Sargan-Hansen test that -ivreg2- reports, I don't see alternative to saying "well, estimating using straight IV gives me a low overid test statistic, so imposing the additional identifying restriction of a dichotomous D ought to be OK" - which is just handwaving.
I hope this is of some help at least.
Best wishes,
Mark
