I have some joints between drywall and drywall and also drywall and cementboard that will not be exposed because they are behind cabinets. Do I still need to tape them together? Does taping provide any structural function or is it just for the looks?

Taping creates a fire barrier if there ever happened to be a fire in your wall a non taped joint could be a problem.
