Change the number of cavern layers to 1 with the smallest number of layers between the surface and the cavern. Also, chnage the z-levles above ground to a smaller number. Bingo - shallower maps.

Isn't there a paramenter that defines how many z-levels are between the first cavern layer and the surface?

Yep, and the lowest is 5 - thats not 5 z-levels, thats 5 layers of stone, where layers span multiple z levels. Typically this gives cavern one between z -15 and - 25
