I'm thinking it might just be easier in the long run to put in a liner and if you have the room and the energy to dig a bigger hole you could expand your old one w/ a bigger liner.

welcome and cheapest would be to fill in the cracks and then put in a liner .You put a liner on top of those size cracks and the liner could get pinched in the crack during freeze thaw times .Cracks will grow over time also and filling them in will keep you liner from getting destroyed .I would take the cement out and make it even easier like jw says less headaches down the road and with a pond it can sometimes be a long road
