I had a cabinet that held glass and ceramic bakeware that fell off the wall.

Some dishes broke and are garbage. Some did not break or have no cracks.

Are the unbroken dishes safe to use as bakeware? Or should they be used only for leftover storage, like tupperware?

If they are not broken/cracked/chipped, they are fine. Glass/Ceramics either break, or don't.

If you're feeling paranoid about missing a crack, put them in the oven and bake at 350°F/175°C for an hour. Anything you missed should be revealed by the stresses associated with thermal cycling. If you do that once without food in them you won't lose any food you happened to be cooking if one fails from a flaw you didn't notice at first.
