Well, 

what you need to do is some sort of descreening to avoid the moires you are
getting,
and then convert the contone CMYKs to RGB and then create your profile.

This is quite a complicated area and you would have to investigate it yourself.
There is lots of stuff in the literature and the internet about descreening.

just go to http://www.google.com and do a search for descreening
