Now that I have the new wheels on, do these old heavy Brembos have any use? Can I sell them or even give them away? Is it wise to keep around in case something happens (I don't have a lot of storage space)?

They probably don't have a lot of value.
You can try...you never know.
You could always knock out the bearings and sell them as scrap if you don't get any takers. They were worth about 70-80 cents a pound at last months prices.

If you have the room it is not a bad idea to keep them since you might not get a replacement that quickly. I could use a front if it is in good shape.

Front is yours. Shape is good, just old.

Just to complete the story, here they are installed. Painted the swingarm, too. Thanks all for the help! Taking a bit to get used too because bike turns so easily, but in any case I love 'em.
