It would really work if you sent it to any address. Consolidation is simply combining the many small inputs into a larger input. The fee is higher due to the large number of inputs and once you consolidate, you won't run into that issue. You might have to use more than one transaction to consolidate due to the large number of inputs that you have. You may have to do it in smaller chunks in this case or my sending a smaller amount so less inputs are used.
