Narrative:
During our cockpit set up prior to the flight; I noticed at least 11 different--but seemingly related--aircraft maintenance status messages on the aircraft status page; which is sometimes encountered as the aircraft 'boots up' after power-up. The aircraft had very recently arrived at the gate. As a crew; we were made aware that the aircraft was late inbound and that we had [to] be subsequently scheduled to depart 15 minutes later than scheduled. We had typical distractions prior to departure; which affected and interrupted our cockpit setup; such as covid-19 wipe-down of aircraft cockpit; flight attendant interaction; passenger interaction and routine preflight discussions regarding possible departure runways and configurations. I also needed to leave the cockpit to conduct a walk-around inspection. After reentering the cockpit; other distractions like a very lengthy dangerous goods manifest and maintenance release verification took place. Finally; we briefed our departure and pushed back approximately 11 minutes later than scheduled. It was only after we departed and were climbing through approximately 27;000 feet that we discovered all 11 maintenance status messages still were present on the status page. We quickly contacted dispatch and maintenance control to disclose our issues. The aircraft had no issues whatsoever--no warning lights; no chimes; nothing. The EICAS did not indicate the word 'status'. But; upon selecting the status page; those status messages were still present.
