They don't all have wings. Only the X-Wing and Imperial transport ships have actual wings, and we've seen them fly through atmospheres.

Well, yeah, but we've also seen the ones that look like a hamburger patty fly through the atmosphere (and, in fact, outmaneouver the winged ones). Clearly that's not what they're for.

Ah yeah. Dang. Well there probably a good technical reason behind it. I'm no starship engineer in the Star Wars universe.
