The method you are using, requires the second parameter to just be the 'parameter' value, not an array. So you either use:

return $this->cObj->getTypoLink($linkTxt, $pid);

Or you use the method "typoLink", which requires an typoScript configuration array to be passed:

return $this->cObj->typoLink($linkTxt, $conf);

But the best thing would anyways be, to define the configuration in TypoScript like:

plugin.tx_myext_pi1.myLink = TEXT
plugin.tx_myext_pi1.myLink.value = Here I want to have the page title
plugin.tx_myext_pi1.myLink.typolink {
	parameter.current = 1
}

And then use PHP code like the following:

$this->cObj->setCurrentVal($pid);
return $this->cObj->cObjGetSingle($this->conf['myLink'], $this->conf['myLink.']);

This would render the above defined cObject, allowing you to define all aspects of the link/label via TypoScript
