Use a slotted serving spoon.

I just boil in a big pot with lots of water and then fish them out with a serving spoon. Some water comes with. They don't usually break. Maybe you're cooking them too long?

This. A solid spoon will work, too, you’d just have to tip it sideways a bit to drain off the broth. Spotted spoon saves half a step.

First prepare all the plates of soup, then put a matzah ball in each plate.

I used to have the same issue, and realized it was much easier for me to make the kneidelech erev shabbos directly into the boiling soup being warmed up for shabbos. No extra pot to wash, no waiting for it to cool, no transferring and hoping they don't break, and if I have too many my kids get kneidlech Sunday for supper and everyone is happy.

Letting it cool before taking out helps a lot

I've never done it any other way. I imagine it's also tastier, having cooked in the soup!

Just curious of the chicken soup gets "cloudy" if the knaidlech sit in the soup for so long - I.e. from when they are done boiling until you serve the soup an hour later after kiddush?

Not cloudy at all, just make sure to put them in with the soup is bubbling, and I keep it warm from then till served.

I used to make a couple packs of kneidelach at once in boiling water, and then transfer it into containers with the amounts I needed for each week, and freeze them. I would then take out a container erev shabbos. Now I do as I mentioned above-much easier.

May I ask a stupid question? Why is a “broken” kneidlach a problem? Don’t people cut them up in the bowl anyway? Nobody puts a whole kneidl in their mouth. unless it totally disintegrates so you can’t tell there was ever a kneidl there, in which case you either need to make them denser by using more matzah meal, or you have too little egg to bind it, or you need to let the mixture chill in the fridge longer before forming the balls and cooking.

If they're breaking/falling apart there was probably too much liquid in mixture, or they cooked too long. Use less liquid and more baking powder/soda, and they'll be easier to form, won't disintegrate, and will be just as fluffy.

Because people enjoy serving the food they cooked in an appealing manner. A steak also gets cut up when eaten, yet I wouldn't appreciate being served a broken up piece of steak.

Me neither. (for the kneidel, not the steak  )
I was referring to the one serving it. I know I like to present the food I cook in an appealing way to my family and guests. So while I would certainly eat a broken kneidel, I would prefer not to serve one.
