ANSI SQL doesn't provide mechanisms for creating data, only manipulating it. You'll have to provide the missing dates or all of the dates within the range. There are many implementations of this. You can create a table that contains one row for each day or maybe create a table that contains integers 1 - 31.

Here's a sample:
DECLARE @allDates TABLE (d datetime)
DECLARE @d datetime

SET @d = @ltQueryFrom

WHILE @d <= @ltQueryTo
BEGIN
INSERT INTO @allDates (d) VALUES (@d)
SET @d = DATEADD(dd, 1, @d)
END

Now you can take this table and UNION in the rows that weren't picked up by your other query.
