Keep in mind your eye is not seeing the pixel size that is in your sensor but whatever the resolution of the monitor or printer you're using is, so probably no more than 300 dots/inch, though 600 dpi and 1200 dpi laser printers aren't that expensive these days.
I used to work with a book publisher and the typesetter they used had composition equipment that was 2400 dots/inch. It took more than a 5X loupe to be able to see individual pixels on their bluelines.

I am new to this I have been using a super zoom Sony HX200V for years now and am moving on to a DSLR camera for mostly wildlife and macro photos I have some lenses already a Nikkor 200-500mm a 70-300mm VR FX and a Tokina 100mm for now I would like to get for a body the Nikon D500 but I am not sure yet because it has only 20.9 MP or the Nikon D7200 24.2 MP does the 3.3 MP really make any difference in the crop factor or sharpness of the pictures please help would rather get the D500
Are you aware that both the D7200 and D500 are "DX" or APS-C "Crop Sensor" cameras? They both use the same size sensor (with the same "1.5X crop factor" when compared to so-called "full frame" cameras). One just has slightly higher resolution than the other.
If you look at more pro/action/speed oriented cameras such as the D500, you'll often find they are a little lower resolution than more consumer oriented models like the D7200.
This is because most pros know that 20MP is plenty for most purposes, a less crowded sensor often allows higher usable ISO and supports higher frame rates... things that many pros would prefer over "the maximum possible pixels".

I have all FX lenses

Nikon nailed it on the D500. While many would die for a D810, I would rather have FX lenses for it. If you already have DX lenses, the D500 is the best option. And you still have a great crop sensor camera. The 4K video and the usage of the XQD card is a great advantage, as well the 10 fps mentioned already.
