In general, to apply a function to a list of objects, you can use `lapply`
(similar to map/collect/transform in other programming languages). Thus,
lapply(all.dfs,get) == list( get(all.dfs[[1]], get(all.dfs[[2]]), ... ).
So for your original problem, you can write:
do.call(rbind,lapply(all.dfs,get))
Is this what you need?
