First, let go of the idea that you don't like your pup. Negative energy will only fuel her anxiety and lead to more destructive behavior. You have to maintain a calm confidence to communicate with her and teach her the correct behavior.
Sounds like she needs some activity to drain or redirect her energy. I wouldn't crate train this pup. Find a taller gate or a tall xpen, maybe one with a top, to confine her to a small area that you can safely clean. Be sure she gets enough exercise and stimulation with playing and basic obedience/trick training.
If taking her out for potty breaks is safe with her age/giardia, be sure to take her frequently. Be sure to praise profusely and maybe give a small treat when she potties correctly either outside or on the pad.
If she is eating her poop, check out the thread in the health section about poop eating.
Take a deep breath and reset your mindset.
