Well you done everything but overlooked the obvious. When you start your engine up, and it starts to heat up I presume your fans are running next to the radiator.
Then did you know if your radiator consists of tubes that water passes thru to cool off. You know what happens when a majority of them are clogged up. The car overheats. You may need to find a place that will recore the radiator. What they do is dip it in acid or whatever and clean it out. I had my vehicle a Ford Escort with the same problem. I took the radiator to get cleaned and the guy showed me where about 75% of the radiator was clogged up. But live and learn.

Check for a kinked hose to the water pump. When they get older, they tend to close off and restrict coolant flow at higher RPM's.
If that's not the problem, your radiator is plugged. Get a can of Prestone heavy-duty radiator cleaner and follow the directions. It runs about 6 bucks, but it will save you the cost of a radiator repair or replacement.
Best of luck.
