You are missing the context...That's why you have to compare scripture with scripture...Of course your male parent is your father...Abraham was the first of the seed to be rewarded the 'inheritance'...Henry Ford was the father of mass production...
The context is has to do with spiritual matters...
Joh 8:41 You do the works of your father. They said therefore to him: We are not born of fornication: we have one Father, even God.
Joh 8:42 Jesus therefore said to them: If God were your Father, you would indeed love me. For from God I proceeded and came. For I came not of myself: but he sent me.
The commandment is to "call no man your father in spiritual matters because you have only 1 spiritual Father...And that is God...In other words, do not call priests, Father...
