When you use `createrawtransaction`, you have to do everything manually, including the selection of inputs and fee. The fee is defined by the difference between input amounts and output amounts. The error is there to help you: it is detecting that the transaction you'd be sending **does** have a huge fee, which you probably don't want to send.

I hope you are on testnet, because you are about to send half a bitcoin in fees.
