The thing you have going on is that you have made a chili powder in which over one third of the mass is comprised of the ingredient usually found in the least quantity in chili powder: cayenne pepper. That stuff is *hot*.
What you need to do is get a regular chili powder recipe and use it to fill in your insanely hot stuff. Another way to go is get a chili powder recipe, make it without cumin, and instead of red pepper or whatever makes the heat, put in 2X that amount of your stuff.
Here is a basic spice blend recipe I once used to create a rub for meats. Instead of chipotle, you can sub in 2X as much of your stuff, or you can do the math. Or use any old recipe - just use various things to dilute the insanely hot stuff you have going on.
