Then look what happens when he got the ball, he only ran for a 60 yard TD. why he doesn't get the ball more is just baffling to me.

Because he's 5'10" and 190 lbs. Defenses are solid, fresh and ahead of the offenses this time of year. Because he's coming off a shoulder injury. Because you don't piss away a guy with that much talent in a rebuild mode, which the Chiefs are.
I'm pretty sure that the Chiefs coaching staff understands that Jones is on the wrong side of 30, especially for a running back, and understand Charles' talents but frailty (to a certain degree).
I'm sure that they also understand the limitations of Cassel and the offensive line. There's no way that they can't. They are also trying to work in McCluster and Moeaki to the offense while integrating both backs.
Last season it was Charles and nobody else. This year there are three new players who have the potential to contribute. If you want a balanced offensive team, it can't be just one guy or you end up with the Barry Sanders Lions.

IMO, if Haley and the Chiefs don't want to use Charles, he should go elsewhere to a team that wants to use him. And if that happens, you can mark that down right next to trading Jared Allen and letting Rich Gannon walk as one of this franchise's dumbest moves ever.

They want to use Charles. They don't want to overuse him. Charles does have the talent to be the featured back and carry for 30 times a game. But that doesn't help the team in the long run, especially in this day and age of the NFL.
If Carthon did actually try to dress down Charles in an effort to try and motivate him, it's then on Weis and Haley to make sure that the perceived slight is addressed and everyone moves on. That's why you have a hierarchy in coaching, business, whatever. I'm sure this is already a non-issue in the locker room seeing how Charles has been the consummate team player and Haley seems to have a better finger on the pulse of the team.
