I think you might be conflating intervals with scale degrees. Count intervals as notes above a pitch, not as members within a scale.
Your interval listing should be P1, m2, m3, M3, d5, P5, M6, m7, P8.1 Let's look at our first disagreement: for C to E, you have d4 and I have M3. C to E must be some type of third, because counting up from C we get (C–D–E = 1–2...) three. It doesn't matter what scale we're in; even though this E might be the fourth scale degree, it's still a third above C, and thus the interval will be understood as a (major) third.
As such, the B♭ and C up top will be a standard m7 and P8, even though they are scale-degrees 8 and 9 (or 1), respectively.
1And technically, your scale is better written as C–D♭–E♭–E–F♯–G–A–B♭–C. This is so that we have at least one of every note name, instead of having two types of E, two types of G, and no F (as you had). See also Notating the diminished Scale
