Airline wants to charge me for a route I'm not even flying!

I was looking at flights on the route KHI-DXB-LHR-YYZ//BKK-PEN. I couldn't find anything that wasn't ridiculously priced and I went to ITA to investigate. For some reason, most of the flights I am looking at charge me the KHI-YYZ fare PLUS the YYZ-PEN fare even though I'm not flying YYZ-BKK-PEN rather just BKK-PEN!

Code:
Fare (A1): EK KHIYTO COW1 fare (rules)  PKR 165150 
Fare (B1): MH YTOPEN C fare (rules)  C$4256.00 
Tax: Pakistani Federal Excise Duty PKR 4200 
Tax: Pakistani Embarkation Fee PKR 1000 
Tax: US International Arrival Tax $15.40 
Tax: Canadian Goods and Services Tax C$0.40 
Tax: Toronto Airport Improvement Fee C$8.00 
Tax: US Customs Fee $5.50 
Tax: US Immigration Fee $7.00 
Tax: USDA APHIS Fee $5.00 
Tax: Thailand Passenger Service Charge THB 700 
Tax: MH YQ surcharge $36.70 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Total for 1 adult passenger: $6905.90
Of course, I will book the two itins seperately, but it was still quite shocking!

Cheers,
