It takes quite a bit of practice with 1st gear since its so short its easy to break traction. They way I launch is rev to 2k let the clutch out like normal and once you feel it hook up don't just floor the gas instantly that only causes tire spin or traction control to kick in if you have it turned on. Once the clutch is out I gradually increase throttle input. Also, make sure your tires are warmed up for best traction. If you let a CR-V beat you definitely doing something wrong. Why are you shifting out of 1st at 4k anyway? You are trying to beat the CR-V right?
