We eat everything except leavened products. Not only matzah. But the Question meant to ask: of all types of baked goods, why do we eat only matzah. And the answer is that it is a Torah-command (Exodus ch.12), in commemoration of the unleavened matzah which our ancestors ate on the night before they left Egypt (ibid).See also the Related Link.

Three things about Passover?
The Passover Hagaddah (or Story) states that "Whoever does not say these three things has not fulfilled his obligation: Pesach, Matzah, Maror." Pesach is the pascal lamb offering that is no longer brought as the Temple in Jerusalem no longer stands. In the days of the Temple, thousands of lambs were slaughtered on the eve of Passover to be eaten that night along with the matzah and the maror, the bitter herb (traditionally, romaine lettuce or horseraddish). Today we eat only the matzah and maror.
