You are going to have to take into account thermal inertia and the meridional transport of heat in the atmosphere and oceans. Insolation alone would give far too great a variation of temperature with latitude and season.
Furthermore, for an isolated black-body radiator, equilibrium temperature would go with the fourth root of insolation, not in proportion with insolation.
