not sure what you're on about monotone. via duotone? totally unnecessary and correct if you want grayscale images in a CMYK print job. a monotone image placed in a process job will either sep as a spot or more likely get converted to a CMYK black. which defeats what you're trying to do.
convert it to a grayscale profile.
the CMY values are just showing due to your color picker settings. get the grayscale readings and try to keep your values between 5% and 95% to avoid blown out highlights and over saturated shadows.
using a black and white adjustment layer is helpful for getting optimum greyscale values. measure with picker in rgb then convert to grayscale.
