How would you have written Goku killing Freeza?

I actually like the idea of Goku defeating Freeza rather quickly. He already knows about the whole "destroy the planet" nonsense he's capable of, so I could see him erasing Freeza with a Chi-blast rather quickly. How he'd defeat Cold is an interesting what-if. Goku would probably defeat him just as fast without giving him much of a chance to do anything else.

Honestly, I can't see him approaching Freeza that much differently than he approached Kid Buu (handwaving his holding back on Vegeta's behalf with his line about not bothering to save energy); there's nothing more to discuss and any sense of competition is gone, so fight to kill.

To be perfectly honest, I would've prefered Freeza to die on Namek and not come to earth.

But if Goku should've been the one fighting Freeza and King Cold on earth, I think he should squash them as quickly as possible.

Same here. It is pretty improbable that a cut-in-half Freeza could've survived both Goku's blast and Namek's explosion, and subsequently recovered. But I guess they needed him for the Worf Effect. Pretty cheap way of doing it, though.
