Titebond III will hold just fine with proper prep. Plane the two edges so they're clean and square and straight. Glue and clamp. Remove excess glue. Et voila. Your knives are already dull, and besides, you will have an infinitesimally thin layer of glue if done properly. If it's thin lams of bamboo there is no internal tension requiring expensive therapy sessions from mr. goat. Don't put in dishwasher, sauna or cement mixer and all will be ducky.

What meat are you cutting that bleeds everywhere? Are you butchering whole animals, or are you not resting your meat long enough after cooking before cutting?

That's certainly an option--if you have the skills and the tools. Cut the board in half along the crack, joint both edges, glue it back together. Titebond is fine in that application--you're not asking it to fill any gaps. That's different than filling the crack with glue and sawdust or epoxy, or trying to clamp the crack closed after trying to get enough glue into the crack. If you do have the skills and tools to cut it in half and glue it back together you also have the skills to keep your knives sharp and you want to keep them that way. I hope.
Someone in the Truckee Roundhouse was teaching a class in making cutting boards and running them through the thickness planer without removing the excess glue. We were having to replace the blades every week until we figured it out. Glue is bad for edge tools. I have one chisel just for removing excess glue.
It is odd that a laminated bamboo cutting board would crack, you're right that there shouldn't be internal stress, but for some reason there is. I have a bamboo cutting board with a crack, but it has glued on bread board ends so it would be surprising if it didn't crack. (It was a gift.)

If you have glue goobers all over your work, you're using too much glue. But it happens . . . use one of these (properly curled) before you try to sand or plane it:

I try to keep glue squeeze out to scattered tiny drops. I take them off with the utility chisel after the glue is set and before it's hard. About 2 hours more or less. If you get it at the right time it will come off easily without getting smeared into the pores of the wood. I wouldn't use a card scraper or cabinet scraper on glue--I spend too much time turning a good burr to ruin it on glue. I do sometimes use the back of my glue chisel like a scraper. Even without a turned burr it works surprisingly well on glue in corners and there's no risk of gouging the wood.
